I've learned not to listen to sponsored drivers anymore.All they do is tell you that whatever they are using is the greatest ever.Nitro car racing is probally one of the most popular segments in rc right now,so I would think any name brand fuel is top notch stuff.I would recommend a brand that your local supplier sells a lot of and the price is right.You don't want to be buying fuel that has been sitting around for months or years.

They probably have to. They cant really say nitrotane is better when they are sponsored by Byrons

Man that sucks I guess. I never heard of that fuel before. You can always have your lhs call trinity and speak with Billy Bruce about carrying their fuel. Im sure you will be happy.

Wildcat Eliminator is the same as Trinity Monster horsepower. (or at least it used to be) Wildcat makes Trinity. Good stuff.

I like O'Donnell fuel. I have tried O'Donnell, Sidewinder, Blue Thunder, and Byron's 2nd Gen and my favorites without a doubt where O'Donnell and Byron's. In my area I don't know anyone that carries Byron's anymore. So I am stuck with O'Donnell but it's still my one of my favorite fuels. Performance wise O'Donnell and Byron's are tied, but I do like that Byron's has some color so it's a bit easier to see fuel level.

Sidewinder was not a bad fuel at all either. Blue Thunder I didn't like at all, I had way better performance with the other three I have tired.

I run Losi Nitrotane and for about a gallon.From day one I had problems with my .12 OS TZ leaning out at about half tank or less? I changed everything on my car from plugs,tubing,fuel filter...Then one day a guy at my lhs said they stop selling nitrotane 20% because people were having tuning problems with their .12's... He said it worked fine for .21's....Kinda weird I thought.. Then I put some Byrons in my truck and it ran flawless......Always wondered if someone had the same problem???

I've run O'donnel, Blue Thunder (race formula), and now Trinity. I havent been disappointed by any of them. I was able to get slightly cooler temperatures with the Blue Thunder over O'donnel (all have been 20%).
