Quote:i thought it was a good fuel but he said that it only has 8% oil in it and that the motor will burn up in a few gallons. is he right or should i just forget what he said and run the fuel.
Don't worry about what he said. There are a few people here who run trinity platinum, and have had no problems. There are also a few who run White Lightning (Also 8% oil) and have had no problems, myself included. I've been running 40% WL for almost 2 years, through a few different R/C's, and have never had an engine wear prematurely. The Engine longevity isn't determined by the fuel, it depends on how well it is tuned.
As for the Traxxas Waranty, they say they will only waranty the engine if you run Top Fuel, but unless you tell them, there is really no way to tell. (Unless you run Blue Thunder fuel, which has been known to dye the engine internals Blue)
