RE: fuels
just about any good brand name fuel will work, but if your using power i'd just stick with it, and anything from 20-30% nitro will work, try not to change it though.

RE: fuels
^^ Don't know but I will say that O'Donnell's and Byrons are the best and most widely distributed in the hobby. I've tried a few, and Byrons is definitely my top pick without any doubts.. I've heard great things about Nitrotane/Rocket Science/Maxy's/Wildcat/Trinity, but none of them are available in my area. And since I get any fuel here for $20, why should I switch
Remember when picking fuels, always pick the RACE version.. Never pick the RTR or Sport versions because they are loaded with oil. Stay away from Traxxas fuel, waay too much oil. Most others are fine to run, pick your percent and run it. I've run 20% since I started almost 5 years ago, just pick what you want

RE: fuels
I guess I have been burning 52 dollars a gallon.... never looked at it that way before. Maybe I should try something else. I use [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNE15&P=7]Trinity 35 percent[/link] most of the time in my Piccos, 12 percent oil. It works super, but apparently costs me much more than I thought. [8D] BB

Byron and O'donnel gallons both go for 26-28 bucks here. But what's REALLY crazy, is the 15% powermaster fuel I run in my little Evader.. 15 bucks a gallon! It's not the most powerful stuff in the world, but it gives a consistent tune and is CHEAP!!
