Best fuel for Mammoth?
I currently use the Traxxas Top Fuel 20% in my Mammoth. It runs fine, but does anybody REALLY know of a fuel that will run it cooler? Don't say what you use just because you use it and have never tried something else.....I am talking about people w/ XTM 24.7 engine experience because I need to order more fuel and don't want to waste $100 on a case that sucks.
I was looking at the 20%N / 12%O Cool Power by Sidewinder. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

wild cat eliminator is 14% and trinity platinum is only 8% thats what its advertised at in mags although it says 10% on team trinitys page so its debatible
