Good nitro fuel available in Aus?
I was wondering what people are using that's readily available for both on and offroad and what in your opinions is the best out there

This is one of those questions where people's brand loyalty plays a big part. As long as you stick with a reputable brand you really shouldn't have any issues. My experience has been in 1/10 Onroad, and I have used both AT Platinum, and Nitro X successfully. I know that Nitro X is stocked by Hobbies Australia, so your local should be able to source it for you.

I'm currently using nitrox and have zero issues with it my only thing is my engines seem a bit dry after they have been run is this normal?

There doesn't seem to be prices listed on their website do they sell to general public? I can add the items to my cart and get shipping quote but that is as far as it goes. One of my lhs stocks Byrons does anyone have any experience with it?
Btw Bundy thanks for your help on the plug issue I ended up finding out that the o.s. Plugs do work on the Orion which made things a lot easier
Thanks again

I'm in Melbourne and freight to Melbourne through Walter is $192 excluding fuel seems a bit much to me where as the link Bundy posted I've ordered 4litres to try and a few other bits and pieces postage is only $20 I think that's really good for 4litres of fuel delivered to my door for around $60 excluding the few other bits I got, it will be a shame to run the Rb and have the supply dry up like stated earlier if I'm happy with it.
I really would like to try the vp fuel I'm hoping I might be able to get it through a Melbourne supplier just waiting to hear back from them. On a side note is there any risk in running different fuels through the same engine every now and then? I think I read somewhere on rctech it should be fine it's prob best to idle a tank through the engine to allow all the new fuel to give everything a good coating or something like that.
