Its not just the brand but all so what blend. Many fuel manufactures have more then one blend. One blend is fine and another will many times has TOO much oil content. My favorite is Byron Gen 2, 3000 and O'Donnell Race. I do not think they make the Gen 1 any more.

Most fuel manufactures have more then one blend. Not sure there is enough room to list them all in your poll. Oil content plays a BIG part in how your RC vehicle runs!!!!!!!!!!

I know...I know...I know...I'm talking what blends you actually run in your Savage, not all blends. and yes, I know all about oil content, that's why I stopped running SideWinder Backyard Basher (18% oil) and started running race blend (like 13%)...

That is why I listed Byron 3000 Gen 2 and O'Donnell race. If you like Sidewinder try some O'Donnell or Byron. I tried Sidewinder Worlds and like O'Donnell and Byron much better.

I was already planning on getting some byrons next time I go to the hobby shop, since everybody seems to like it much better...If I thought that sidewinder borught my truck back to life, I wonder what the Byrons or O'Donnel will do. But my lhs doesn't carry O'Donnel for some reason[:@].

Byron is my favorite and O'Donnell my second choice. If you get Byron get the Race 2000 20% with 12 % oil or the Race 3000 30% with 11% oil.

I run SideWinder 20%. I really like it, and works well with my RC's.

Sidewinder 30% Race is the best I've tried. 2nd would be O'donnells Race. They are very close in performance, but I give the edge to Sidewinder because it contains superior corrosion inhibitors. Unfortunately both of them have been unavailable to me for a long time. A new hobby shop has opened up "near" me, and they stocking Sidewinder Race, so I plan to go back to it.
