I just ran out of my odonnel racing fuel and i need some advice. i was told you should stick with the same fuel you broke the engine with. well the only problem is that the only place to get is an hour a way. my lhs just carrys traxxas topfuel. will it be okay to use that if it got the same oil content. or should i just go with odonell

it should be fuel is fuel right as long as oil content and nitro content is the same if it isnt then just tune it to be

when I had the same concern the guy at the hobby shop told me that you will have to retune the engine, and make sure it has the right oil % and stuff.

my dosent say how much oil content. im runnen 20 % odonnel can some tell me what the oil content is on that.

I was told the same thing to stick with the same fuel and not to change fuels. Well I was sceptical and decided to run a couple different fuels in my old 4-tec, So far the engine is still running no problems. Other than having to tune it for the fuel that i am running i'm not seeing anyproblems, So far i have run in order byron race 20%, o'donnell, 20%, sidewinder 20%, blue thunder 20%, and the last tank i ran was sidewinder 30%. I ran a couple of tanks each and the engine is still running. So i say fuel is fuel, as long as you know how to tune and break in properly

Traxxas 20% will be fine. As others have said, just retune the engine. Changing fuels is no big deal.

IMO and thats not from a pro by no means!! As long as you tune it correctly it should be fine.

My Feedback: (2)

I notice your in Merced, are you talking about D's music? I know if he carries Traxxas, which by the way is made by PowerMaster, its good. Thats what I keep going back too bacause my temps stay down it its powerfull. youll like to 20% and it tunes easy.
