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!!

it is a good fuel i belive that is the same as HPI POWER FUEL that i used to use IT was good stuff i recommend it. but now i use A custom blend from my LHS (they are a top fuel engine shop) And I find that it works best it is also Actual NITROMETHANE not nitropropane.
