Powermaster has been around for a long time. Most of my local hobby shops carry it. I have run it before with no problems.

Too bad. Ireally liked the S&W for breaking in motors, it seemed like it had just a touch more oil then the rest of them.

I use Traxxas 20 percent. LHS told me it it has more oil then other brands. Get a little less preformance but you engine will last longer. Iopted for the longer engine life.

That is correct. Last time I checked, Traxxas fuels run 18% oil mixture while most others run 13% oil mixture however, a lot of engines don't like the higher oil content of Traxxas fuels. When Traxxas says their fuel is designed for Traxxas motors, that is the truth.

I agree the traxxes fuel has way too much oil its great for bashing and wanting to preserve engine life but for great tunning and faster speed have to go with other nitro fuels.
