Default Which Fuel?

I bought an O.S. CV-RX (S) to go in my tmaxx and I was wondering what fuel to run in it. (The choices in the poll are what my lhs sells) I was wanting to run a fuel that i could buy locally and not have to mess with ordering it. By the way they are all 20% nitromethane.

Just don't use blue thunder. It leaves a blu/green residue in your engine that will wreck your one way bearing and affect your engine performance after a while. I have had that problem before and couldn't figure out how come i kept killing bearings until my lhs owner told me not to buy blue thunder.
I have an .18CV-RX and i use odonnel, trinity, or white lightning. (whatever is on sale)

I'd vote for Byrons, but since your lhs doesn't carry it Oddonels is my second choice.
