I've never used trinity, but I did switch from losi nitrotane to byrons in one of my rc's and I noticed a huge difference in performance as well as a drop in engine temps......

Having used both, you will never use Trinity again. IMO Trinity is horrible or I just got a bad gallon.[:@] Bryon performs better and cheaper.

I have also been running trinity 30% i switched to it after running odonnells but yesterday bought a gallon of byron so im waiting to use all the trinity to test the byrons. You are right on the price it is cheaper so maybe that will be an extra plus

I guess since were talking fuel, I run Blue Thunder HP8. It has ony 8% oil, and the oil is made up of 6% caster 2% synthetic.

That BT P8 sounds good. Just hope it doesn't leave that blue stain. I know Byron Race and ProDriver fuels are 50/50 caster/synthetic. But I have used Traxxas, Trinity Platinum 20%, Nitrotane Race 20%, ODonnell Race 20%, and Byron ProDriver 30%, and BY FAR Byron is the best. Very cool temps, great power, and easy to tune.

I have about 1.5 gallon through mine and I haven't had any dying happen yet. Odonals really dyed my gray durbro exhaust deflector.

Byron's Gen 2 Race Fuel in 30 percent is awesome stuff. I have burned many gallons of it and love it. Your will probably find your truck is way too rich on Byron's. When I switch from Trinity to Byron's, I noticed that the Byron's must flow a lot easier. Glen

Hey man hate to say it but I told you so!!!! LOL

Now I hear you on the rain! Where is it coming from? Glen needs to share some of his heat!

And to make my rcing even worse, my official MOB order came in last night! Afghanistan here I come!

enoctis

Seeing as Glen is seemingly the most knowledgable person on rcuniverse I am really glad to hear his opinion on Byrons. In fact, I came to the forum just now to post a question about Byrons, and found this thread. Kudos to everyone for their input and once again, Glen, you're leading me in the right direction around every turn.

BTW - where is the cheapest place, aside of eBay, to buy a ZR.30?

enoctis

What unit are you in, and where are you stationed? We've got some "nasty" personnel here on Ft. Hood that just got their MOB orders. I am looking for people in the Ft. Hood area to bash with...

[EDIT]
I am about to post looking for people in my area...

If your a member at towerhobbies you can get the ZR .30 for 165 shipped for the pull start, and about 185 for the non pull.............

BudBud

That is where I bought both of mine. Free shipping over 150 dollars and if you are a member, 199 dollar order gets a 25 dollar discount. Glen

byrons is the way to go. 30% was my mix and i never had any trouble. i even used some stuff that was realy old, like, over a year just sitting. always had excellent performance.

it turned the top of my piston yellow though........

rotzilla

well the last of the trinity has been run. unfortunetly i had a couple of glitches and then my rvr batt died and i couldnt get any time with the byrons. but i should see the results next time. hopefully soon....

Switching from 20 to 30%, should I change the type of plugs I am using? Will a medium plug be OK or should I go to a medium cold?

3-172IN MTN

Your current plug choice should be fine. You will have to tune a little bit to get it right on but everything else in your setup will work great.
