Default Fuel?

What kind of fuel do you guys use in your trucks? I broke in my T-Maxx using Traxxas Top Fuel 20%, but at $40 a gallon I was wondering what else I could use. LHS has Wildcat 15% nitro-18% oil I was going to try. I don`t know what the oil content is Top Fuel. Any suggestions would be helpful.

We are using Odonnell racing fuel that we bought from tower hobbies for about 28 bux a gallon its great but there are fuels that will work just as good as what you got or what we are using.. for example blue thunder fuel, or anything for about 25 a gallon your lhs has in stock. as long as its 20% 25 or 30% can be used but it runs hotter and is harder on your engine so it wont last as long at if you were using 20.

Wildcat fuel is a good fuel. Give it a strong look.

SuperMax... with only 8% oil what temps are you getting? I read somewhere that the Oil mix is one of the things that helps keep an engine cool ?

yesterday I went to the LHs and the owner recomended trinity platinum. He said it gives your rc way more kick and it has 12% oil.
