personal oppinion. i like byron because its a race fuel, available local(ish) and my car just flies. bluethunder (poothunder) is more expencive than byron and ive seen that it is not the best fuel in the world.

I am using blue thunder, and I think it is pretty good. I have used it on all of the rc cars I have had.

Ah, but what type of car do u have rclooney? and so what if it says "race fuel" on the bottle, are u suggesting that Trinity isn't a race fuel. Im not surprised that blue thunder has worked well 4 u underglow as it is an oily fuel and therefore any engine should run on it o.k but u may not get the maximum performance but if u just out for a bit of fun it doesn't matter really.

i'm currently running powermaster fuel.it works for me.
i have ran rocket science fuel,ran great but its $10 more a gallon than the powermaster.
a friend of my was going over seas for work and he gave me a new gallon of the trinity fuel.IMHO i did not like the stuff for squat,or should i say my motors didn't like the stuff. had to richen the motors up ALOT and still couldn't get the temps the way i like them.

i race 1/8 scale buggy and the motors i 'm running are a rb ws7 and a o.s. rg

the race fuel bit is just the fuel contains lower oil for more bangy chemicals to be put in. the blue thunder is ok but the byron stuff is, i feel the same preformance wise, just that bit cheaper.

Well byron contains 16% oil and Trinity Monster Horspower contains 12% oil, Trinity Platinum contains 8% oil.
In reply to Froggy RCU I don't understand why u had problems with ur RBSW7II as RB recomend their own fuel which only contains 8% oil. Thoughj I'm not surprised that u had problems with ur O.S Rg engine as O.S engines need to run on a fuel with atleast 18% oil if u want all ur components to last for a lenght of time.

model mania-my motor is a ws7 not ws7ii.the os rg is a lot easier to tune than the rb motor and the problem i had with the trinity was when i had good power both motors temps were probably 30* higher than i like to run them,and i like to run my temps to the edge. my rb runs good coming off the track after a 5 min. race between 260* and 270*.my rg likes between 290* and 300*.those temps are with a rayteck temp gun.
