you can if you want . traxxas says that top fuel is made especially for the trx engines but i'm pretty sure you can use it for your warhead. stick with 20-30% nitro. you can go with 15 if you want but 20-30 should be good

the Traxxas fuel should work fine in it, I use/have used it with all of my cars and it works fine for me.

It's not gas, it's r/c model fuel or nitro fuel, but if you really want to put gas in it......I would go with premium with techron, it's suppose to do wonders for your car's engine

You should be able to use a single fuel for both trucks. Whichever fuel you choose.

You can use any of the normal brands out. Traxxas, S&W, O'Donnell, Morgans, Blue Thunder will all work. I would run 20% to start and if you need more power then 30% but if you go to 30% don't forget to richen up the HSN and LSN so it don't run too hot.

actually, these can be modified to accept diesel, but it has to be mixed with oil just like nitro and its very hard to find for r/c use, so most people use nitro.

If you put gasoline in a r/c motor, nothing will happen. It's flash point to high for it to burn, and while your spending hours trying to get it started the lack of lubrication in gasoline will wear out the internals of the motor. But hey, have fun.
