Default What is YOUR FAVORITE Fuel?

The epic questions... What fuel do you run? Why is it your favorite fuel? What Nitro content and why? Post up.




Byrons 20% for me. I like it because, in all of the engines that I had last me more than 9 gallons, I was running Byrons in them.

30% TQ fuel this year - it's cheap and works great.
Next batch will be 30% Tilted fuel.

So far my fav is

Patriot R/C 20% race fuel

its only $19.99 a gallon,burns fairly clean, runs good in both my cars..

only thing is it burns a little hotter then traxxas fuel,and SMELLS like old lady perfume and hot canola oil.

other then that i really like it,though i do miss the smell of the traxxas fuel

Byron 30% and I will never run Sidewinder again! If I could not get Byron I would run O’Donnell race blend but would not run there Ready 2 Run. One of the biggest things about fuel do not run anything over 12% oil content. It is not only brand but all so what blend.

Cool Power 25% Nitro, 17% oil airplane fuel for my 1/8 th buggy .28 engine and 1/10 touring with .15 engine. Engines are easy to tune and easy on the pocket.

sidewinder. works great for me.
The biggest thing I do not like about Sidewinder is all the brownest yellowiest build up in the engine with it. May not hurt but being a motorcycle machine for 35 plus years prefer not to have it. Byron and O’Donnell fuels after running 8 or 9 gallons the inside of my engines look all most new.

That would be the unburnt caster oil and other additive crap they put into sidewinder, which is why engines always run hotter on that stuff.
