Default CHANGED FUEL IN 3.3 T-MAXX THIS WAS WEIRD?!

I am running HPI Power Fuel in my HPI RS4 road car, and Blue Thunder in my T-Maxx 3.3. Both 20%. Ran out of Blue Thunder in my Maxx and tried a tank of the POwer Fuel in it. The truck had the highest idle I ever seen, very sluggish, sputtered through the run, and after a couple minutes, got to about 300 degrees! Needless to say, I shut it off. Went to my LHS and got some Blue Thunder again for the truck. Runs great again. Moral of the story, if you never knew, I can tell you brands of certain fuels DO, make a difference.
