I use Torco 20% fuel and it works in all my cars with no problems. They have free shipping so no haz-mat fees. Go to[link]http://torconitro.com/index.html[/link] and check them out.

SIDEWINDER fuel is great stuff or at least my engine likes it.
Sidewinder fuels also do not need after run oils as its already in the mix.
By the way, my engine is a .21 size (KYOSHO GX.21((highly moded)) and also likes the O.S A3 and A5 plugs.
