Plesae take the poll and state why you like that fuel, maybe even some bad experiences with other fuel.

I use Sidewinder. Great results. Used Blue Thunder and Bryons before. No problems with either. All 20% nitro. Sidewinder's not on your list though.

I use Odonnel 30% and add some synthetic/castor oil blend to raise the oil % to about 16%. Works pretty good for me. But the fumes will make you cry like a little school girl!

sig champion and www.s-whobby.com fuel are my current 2 fuels.

I will also run anyfuel made by wildcat(HPI,trinity MHP,and eliminator)

I have also used Omega and Odonnell with great success.

I have used Blue Thunder with not so good results. I stay FAR away from it.

The thing about sig is that they use Klotz Lube(just like wildcat made fuels) and its 1/2 the price of Odonnell/MHP/Wildcat or anything else.

I pay 17.99 a gallon for 25%.

Default Fuels

I used the following fuel for my HPI SS Engine;

Red Alert 10% x ? oil - Works fine - price not too bad
Blue Thunder 10% x ? oil - Works fine - price too high for me
Sig Heli Mix 20% x 20% oil - Works great - free from my buddy
Backyard Basher 20% x 16% oil - Works great - price is great, I just added 3 oz of klotz racing synthetic oil to make it 18%.

After I will used up my backyard basher, I'll shift to either Omega or SIG heli mix 20% or 25% nitro.

WOOHAAA.......SMOKE THEM ........

20% Xtra Performance (whatever that is) with 16% oil. Ran 25%/12% though one of the GS .21 motors but it now needs a rebuild and I'll run 20% when it's running again.

I use wildcat in my savage but in my nitro sport I use blue thunder. I like the wildcat but it seems to run hot. my savage is normally about 280-310 and still runs fine but the nitrosport gets over 350 so I switched to the blue thunder for that one.

Default Odonnell

I use Odonnell 30% RTR formula it has higher Oil content. And yes it really does make your eyes burn. But damn my car goes like a raped ape on the stuff.
