Well since it's a Traxxas engine, I bet anything they are gonna recomend their own fuel[X(]. I havn't used either, but once I start the break-in with my Fantom, I'm probably gonna use the Trinity Monster Horsepower.

Its really up to you. But Trinity is made by Wildcat. And Wildcat is generally much cheaper than Trinity. I buy Wildcat eliminator 20% for 20 a gallon. That same fuel is sold under HPI for 12.50 a quart. Just my thoughts.

Never knew that Wildcat made their fuels. So you can go get some Wildcat and it'll be the exact thing of the Trinity for cheaper? If so, I'm gonna start ordering that.

Oh and where can you get Wildcat fuels? All I've found is 4 gallons and a quart. I want 1 gallon of it.

I've used Trinity, Traxxas and Blue Thunder...I pick the Trinity Monster horsepower myself. My truck runs great with it. I opened up my engine in my CEN MT-2 after using 3 gallons of blue thunder sport and less than 1 gallon racing inside it was all gunked up with the stuff. Half-way through the racing gallon my truck wouldn't run right at all and showed signs that it needed a rebuild. My uncle still uses Traxxas and it's a good fuel too. But around here it's about $3 more than the Trinity and I go through about a gallon a week when the weather is nice. It adds up and put my truck and my uncles truck side by side and my truck is slightly faster off the line. I have a sportmaxx 2.5 with 4x4 and 2 speed and he has a t-maxx 2.5. He bought his truck 2 days after I got mine and we even broke them in together so for comparison our trucks are pretty close.
