i think it has a little too much oil and your internal one way bearing will slip, i know this happena with traxxas top fuel but i think that has 18%. i use fuel with 11% oil content and its totally fine.

I agree, I doubt they will take it back. You can try though.

byrons gen 2 is the best fuel out there in my honest opinion. Goto a race track and see what they are using. Mostly byrons and trinity.

Gen 2 race 2000 has 12% oil 20 percent nitro. here is the chart. http://www.byronfuels.com/pages/prod...l#chart_anchor

I was using Traxxas 20% at first. I have been using Wildcat Eliminator recently. When I first started running it, I had to richen up quite a bit, maybe because it has less oil than the Traxxas? It seems to give me more power and a tank seems to run longer, but that is general impression, nothing scientific. It also seems to smoke more. According to the bottle, it is 14% synthetic/castor blend oil.

byrons is a great fuel, i love it and its all i really run and i never have problems with my one ways using it, i used to use the race proven blend before them came out with the gen2. Some of the traxxas fuels will make your one way slip.

That is my problem now. My pull starter only turns the engine over a fraction. It's like it isn't grabbing on something. I also use the Traxxas top fuel 20% nitro. Now I know why it's slipping. I will pull the motor out next weekend and clean things up.
