Default nitro fuels?



I use blue Thunder 20% nitro fuel.. i want to get a higher % of nitro, and i was considering traxxas top fuel 33%, but I have heard it has too much oil? I dont know what to get?
Any ideas? Preferances?? Thanks!

I think with high % of nitro you run the risk of engine damage if it is not tunned properly.  Stick with the 20% and enjoy.  Just my 2 cents

DONOTUSETRAXXAS 33%FUEL ONTHESEENGINES!!!!! I typed that in big leters so you would notice. That fuel is way to high in nitro content and way to low in oil content. Traxxas is or has disconinued that fuel. I repeat DONOTUSE Traxxas 33% fuel you WILL, and I promise, Burn up your engine by the end of a quart. This fuel was designed Specificly for the Traxxas 3.3R and it burns up even that motor.
