What fuel are y'all running?

[Jay F.]

Was just curious about what everyone's running. In the last 15 or so years, I've tried quite a few brands. Last several years, Ive been running Byron's. I used to run the 30%, but these days I'm not racing really just bashing, so I run mostly 20%.

Sidewinder Race Mix, 30%. But as you said 30% isn't necessary, but it is fun.

When I ran boats, i would use 30%, racing the trucks too. Just a basher these days lol. At my lhs its about 10 or 15 bucks cheaper for 20% too.

Byron's 20% or O'Donnell 20% Speed Blend, or Blue Thunder Sport 20%. Kinda depends on the price when I swing by the LHS.

The lhs I deal with mostly carries Byrons. There's others around, but I've dealt with him for so long, he usually knows what I'm looking for before I get there. He's goid about replying on fb back. I guess I've become loyal customer lol

I'm lucky enough to have 2 lhs close by and have the same relationship with them. One of the lhs I almost have talked into sponsoring an outdoor off-road track. It's good to have those relationships. Especially if they are little mom n pop outfits.

The lhs I deal with is heavily involved in the closest track club here. I say lhs, but I'm about an hour from it. The tracks more like 1.5 hours away. Before Katrina, we had a local track here in Chalmette, but it was never rebuilt

holly crap x!!! do you actually pay 140$ for a gallon of fuel?! that's nuts!!

ive always used sidewinder 20%. 21$ at my LHS. no need for after run oil( although I do use wd-40)

I too have the same relationship with my LHS. I was going to apply for a job there this summer, but you have to be 16. next year, I guess.

my LHS carries a variety, but they stock mostly traxxas( I can find I good bit of savage stuff there, but not near as much). they order from towerhobbies. I usually order from them instead of ordering directly from tower. I figure if I'm gonna buy something, it might as well help support my LHS.

GEEZ rcnut14, if you bothered to read the link you would know thats for 4 gallons shipped to you and there is a surcharge for shipping hazardous materials and ground only shipping applies which is usually a bit more and takes longer also.....😕🙄

Oh and I use Sidewinder 20% basher blend, 16% oil and no afterun oil to foul up my

Reading comprehension is very difficult for some. To be fair, he is home schooled. 😉😀

Byrons gen2 20% nitro 12% oil w/OS#8 glow plug seems to be working good for my K4.6. $26 a gallon at lhs.
