I still think the OD fuel is great but at $5/gallon cheaper with better performance it is a no brainer for me. Powermasters is my new fuel for 2011.
LOL!! I thought it was just me. I loved OD fuel, but it was a biach on the eyes. Bending over making carb adjustments while engine was running was killer on the eyes and clothes.

Whats the word on this fuel. I see my LHS starting to move Bryon's out and Powermaster in. . How much oil and what kind are they using? I hear the new OD Speed blend is where it's at!

+1 to what all has been said. I have been running the fuel now since last October and it's really easy to get along with. Immediately I found 30 to 45 seconds of run time and it's really crisp.

I've know and raced for Tommy Porfirio, back when he made Rocket Science, and he really knows his stuff. Mike also knows quite a lot about fuel, since he had his own label (Nitro Juice), and with thoes two working together it's really turned out good!

VP fuels has a ton of knowledge about racing fuels and with the resourses the company has it's a very good combination to make a great RC fuel as well.

I encourage you to give it a try, if you haven't, and you will be impressed.

Jason

i run OD fuel and love it, it woke my engines up switching from byron and gained about a min of run time. im running the race blend because my engines stay very clean and not a fan of dye in fuel. speed blend, i havent heard anything but good things about it from other fuel team drivers.

now my dad runs the powermaster fuel, he switched from byrons and likes it, it seems to have a little crisper sound to it than byrons did. run time is about the same between powermaster and byrons, powermaster may of gained a little more run time but not much... and we saw no change in temp.

You got to try this stuff its awesome, I run the 25% blend and love it. Tried byrons, sidewinder, traxxas, and rocket science, but this is the most easy to tune fuel ever.

Thank you VP Racing Fuels!

VP Racing Fuels PowerMaster would like to welcome Jason Branham to the team for 2011! The current RC Pro National 1/8 scale buggy champion will be fueling his XRay machines with only PowerMaster fuel this season to give him the extra edge he needs to defend his RC Pro national title. Jason primarily runs PowerMaster 30%

I am also running VP/Powermaster this season. Not sponsored, paying customer who was provided a sample to try. The fuel has been outstanding and Mike's customer service is by far nothing short of amazing. I ordered a case and will continue to purchase this fuel due to it's quality and racer support.

Powermaster makes great fuel! Knowing that Tommy P. and Mike B. are behind the scenes for the fuel is definately a plus...they know what they are doing! Results from using the fuel tells it all...power, runtime, reliability...A+++

I don't screw with my tune very much to say how easy it tunes. But I picked up a solid minute of run time coming from byrons. Besides that, its pretty Kool to have fast guys as reps heading to races and being on the scene. Got to meet mike at the la state championship last weekend.

I don't run nitro anymore, went to brushless

I will say both Steve S. and Mike B. are really nice guys, and wish them and VP Fuels much continuing success. I had an opportunity to watch them race, and also to talk with them. Very nice people, and obviously great drivers.

If I was running nitro, I would definitely be running this fuel!

I have ran a ton of different fuels and this has to be the best i have tried in years. Also what everyone says is true Mike and the the rest of the VP crew are tops in service. Thank you POWER MASTER for helping me to have a great 2011 season

I've got almost 2 gallons of PowerMaster 30% through my Speed XZ-B. The fuel is simply awesome. No issues whatsoever...tunes easy, good run time, and superior power. I'm sold on it...ordered two cases!

I got a chance to run this fuel for the first time On Friday Night. I was very impressed with it. Everything people are saying is true. It is an awesome fuel with great runtime, power and idle. I liked it enough to become the first stocking dealer in Arizona.
