Hello, dont have much info on that fuel but i know that off road guys it some here with problems. Its probably mostly synthetic oils and no where near what us onroad guys prefer. My opion after 30 plus years of racing 1/8th is that the VP fuels has the best oil packages in the business and I have never had one issue with it. I test all the VP fuel for onroad for years and I promise, you wont find better anywhere. We have run 25-11% ,25-9% ,25-7% 16-9% 16-7% 16r and they are all fantastic. The latest we tested is the new 25r formula. Forsure made awesome power and tuned very easy. All fuels have been tested in all temps from cali to florida and here in hot and humid Texas with no problems. Just my two cents, hope it helps ya.

I have always used SideWinder in 20% Nitro and 12% oil.
This is without off-road and always without problems.

100 different people will probably have 100 different answers.

Personally, I've been using Morgan Sidewinder 30% nitro w/ 12% oil for several years now. I have enough to keep using it for another couple years. It's decent and does the job well. I first bought it because I liked the red color. I stuck with it because I got annoyed that I could not tune my engine at the time with 30% Byron's and found my motor seemed to like the red stuff. If I could get VP 30% nitro w/ 9% oil locally, I would probably switch. But I have had good experiences with Morgan Sidewinder. I'm happy to continue using it.
