Status: offline 		I found Wildcat fuel at www.rcfueldepot.com . How does the 10% Wildcat compare to Red Alert 10%? I was wondering because the Wildcat is a bit cheaper than Red Alert 10%.

Status: offline 		How is it for glow fuel engines? I have a Duratrax Warhead and a Nitro Evader ST that I have been running Red Alert 10% in and would like to take advantage of the Wildcat prices if it will be alright in the glow engines. Both trucks have the stock engines.

Status: offline 		Duratrax is one of those companies that keeps the numbers "secret"

The notes here
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD540&P=0
say it is 'equivalent to' fuels that have 18% oil.

I take that to mean it actually has less than 18%

Status: offline 		for your car or truck, there is wildcat "eliminator" in 20 nitro and either 10, 14 or 18 percent oil. I love the 20n 14 oil in my 28 powered 9.5, good stuff. Also HPI powerfuel is made by wildcat, again good stuff.

Starts very easy and is consistent.

Status: offline 		I used Hobby Town fuel which has Wildcat on the jug and I liked it. It has 18% oil content and 20% was castor and 80% was synthetic. I liked that ratio of oils for some reason. I ran SIG Champion fuel once and it was 20% oil and it was 50/50% blend. The 20% is a little thick for my two strokes and just about right for a Saito but I no longer buy either fuel as the local distributors or out of business and now I buy Magnum fuel at a cheaper price.
