What fuel should I use for my new OFNA Ultra MBX Comp?

I would start with 20 nitro....make sure what ever brand you use that it is detailed on the castor content. O'donnell, Red Max, there are plenty of different kinds fuels. Hope this helped.

PS: I would call around to your lhs and see what they have ...then I would see what the guys on the forum think. This is what I originally did.

I was thinking http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAKD8&P=0 or http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHCT9&P=0 . Do you think it would we worth the extra 3$ a quart?

Less castor means less protection. Stick with the high number...also I don't know why one is more expensive than the other!!!
See if they have o'donnell...what does your LHS say ???

www.cooperfuels.com Best Fuel in the US !! Bar None

what make this the best fuel??? I was told O'donnel was the best...what about red max etc...

trust me any one who knows fuels goes to Brian Cooper .. have a look in the fuel forum and ask.. he really knows fuels inside out ..

I've been running ODONNELL for 15 years and I love it !!!. You can't go wrong with ODONNELL.

ofna recommends Byron's Premium Race Fuel.

and I like Maxy's 25% race blend...everyone has a prefference to fuel...best to see what is locally available and what racers are using near you....different regions preffer different fuels for a reason....if climate affects the way your mill runs thenI'd think it might affect how the fuel is delivered and consumed by your mill......

Wow thanks for all the respones!
My lhs stock Byron's Premium Race Fuel and they sell it for $20 a gallon. Anyone see it for a better price?

Thats a good price to begin with. Any how don't be too concerned with price as it is better
to have a good quality fuel. Hope this helps.

thats because Ofna distribute Byron's..

And this is why you should not trust the shops or distributors. Just see what other people use locally and ask them why they use it.

sidewinder is the best fuel...i run 20% nitro with 12%oil in all my cars...the best thing is you dont have to remember to use after run oil because it isnt needed with ths fuel.....

no point me recommending the fuel i use as its only really available from 2 places in the UK & they don't post

its only 8% oil but its the quality of oil that matters!
i get plenty of power & good engine life with awesome reliabilty
its just a shame its not more widely available! but its good for those in the know

I'm going to have to go with the Aussie on Cooper Fuels Liqui-Fire! Not only does the fuel have a great reputation, but the man behind the fuel stands behind it. If it's not available at your LHS, either order it from him or tell them to get it!

Right on man ! I have been chatting with Brian from Cooper fuels for a while now and i thought i knew a thing or two about fuels, i make one of the best here in OZ MassiveMods 27Eleven Pro.. But in speaking to him re fuel realised he is some sort of genius.. He is so into making good fuel he researches every faccet of all the components, the oil blends, what works well with what etc.. Give it a try guaranteed you will never use another fuel again... Unless you use mine of course ! lol

Hey Showtime, who makes it and whats it called ?

All in the PM dude

Awesome ! RESTECPA !

I dont really care for byrons, I found that Traxxas top fuel works well for me. Also the Traxxas fuel seems to run pretty consistent in all 4 of my nitro cars, which include .12's to big .26's

I have to agree with Motopro - Sidewinder is by far the best fuel I have tried. I use the 25% though.

Another nod for sidewinder. Best fuel i've used so far. I use it in my Savage, and i will use it in my buggy in the spring. 30% race blend (12% oil iirc)

Here is a wacky question...How can you tell what fuel is better ???
