Nitro Fuel of Choice??

[.21Rc10GT]

Yeah, O'donnell is clear and that does make it hard to see when the tank is dusty. Can you add dye to it? Can anyone help here?

 

[psunitro]

Maybe colored fuel sent will "dye" it enough?? Used MHP 20%...now goint to Trinity Platinum 30%

 

[NITRO 21]

Trinity MHP 20%, thinking about going to up to 30%.

 

[TNX MONSTER]

O'donnel 10%

jon2,

I placed this in the Savage forum to see what people were running in their Savages. I am would question the people running %10 & %30 but I don't think they are talking BigBlock off-road vehicles.

20% is good in BB but 30% is also used a lot, the fuel will work fine in a SB and a BB just dont go highrer then 40%

 

[RustlerDood]

O'Donnell 20% in 1/10 scale and 30% in 1/8 scale

I use Smurf Juice (blue thunder) cause my LHS has it.
However, I was there yesterday and the guy recomended "White Lighning"
It's a 20% nitro fuel, but i'm a little leary of the 8% oil content.

Has anyone used the White Lightning?

Here's an article i found on it.

O'donnell 20% in my T-Maxx
O'donnell 20% will go in my Warhead when it gets here!
but I have stuck with Byrons 20% w/12% oil in my xtermintr because thats what I broke it in with and it seems to scream on the stuff so why change that one I said.
everything else I ever get will more than likely be O'donnell 20% though.

i used trinity 20% for the most part..i did try blue thunder for one tank, and it never died on me..my savage would idle for ever!!! So i may switch..not sure yet

when i used trinity..it wouldnt idle as long..i currently have almost a full gallon of 30% trinity, but when its consumed..i may switch to BT and give it a try.

Nitro Blast??

I ran across this on the web. Has anyone heard of this.

I'm using blue thunder seems to work great and smooth, but the place i bought my savage is 2 hour drive each way, so i may be switching to the lhs o'donnel brand as i hear good things about the fuel. can i add acouple drops of food coloring the the gas so i can see it?

All my brother and I use in our cars is 20% Byron's race fuel. We originally started with Monster HP, switched to Odonnel's, back to Monster then when we started to race competatively, we went to Byron's and haven't looked back ever since.

I use Trinity Monster Brew 20% nitro 16% oil. I noticed allot of you don't use this fuel. Is there any negative effect’s from this near black fuel? I use this fuel for 2 reasons. 1 My LHS gave me a bottle for free when I bought my savage, and 2 I can see how much fuel is in my tank from 20 feet away.
