What kind of fuel should I buy for this model? I want to buy this truck as a present for my husband. What other stuff do I need for full set?

This truck takes a mixture of unleaded fuel and 2 stroke oil. I would say when you buy this truck you should get him a one gallen fuel can so he can mix the gas and oil. The mixture ratio is in the instructions and very easy to follow. I use premium unleaded gas in mine. This truck is a lot of fun and if he likes speed he will love it. Make sure to change the batery pack that controls the receiver and your throttle and steering. It is important that you make sure to get some blue lock tite and use it on all the screws and bolts before you run the truck for the first time.

Regular gasoline and a bottle of 2 stroke oil... it uses the same fuel as a 2 stroke weedwacker...the truck comes with everything other than fuel and battery's for the remote this truck is a decent truck but the rampage MT has a bigger stance and bigger tries. You can get a aftermarket exhaust which gives it much better power. I don't see the exhaust on amazon I would try www.redcatracing.com 1/5 scale ...I have both trucks and the buggy my favorite is the rampage MT...the trucks are to heavy to jump or beat up on because your bound to break something...but an open field is just fine

Regular gas an 2stroke oil,but be really careful it the truck run into walls or anything parts break so fast.

You just use regular motor vehicle gas. I chose this model for the convience of fuel. But it does go very fast so you will need a very large open space.

All you need is a 1 fuel can . Small funnel. Type 87 gasoline and 2cylinder oil. And a football field or something like that

All you need is the "engines". I purchased the largest ones. A 4 pack. Don't remember how much I paid for them. But it wasn't much, about $10 I think.

Use regular unleaded fuel 87 octane,do not mix oil with gas.Oil goes separate in the crankcase, oil type 5W30.

It's not so much about Speed it's about engine tempature I personally run 20% nitro fuel. Traxxas fuel is hard to come by and they also do not sell it by the gallon. Torco race fuel is a safe alternative.

Unleaded gas. Not diesel. Not more than 10% ethanol. Use mid grade gas (or even high octane) and it will run like a charm.

The following is taken directly from my manufactures owners manual in relation to fuel and this specific model. Required Gasoline: "Only use gasoline that meets the following requirements: + Unleaded Gasoline only, + Gasoline with a maximum of 10% ethanol added, + Gasoline with an 87 octane rating or higher. The best generator for the buck in my opinion.

I believe you need higher quality diesel fuel. The guage on the fuel is cheap plastic and broke within the firt two times using. Now the fuel leaks when you move it. My opinion this is junk. I wish you read my review before buying. The thermometer guages heat immediately around unit, without fan in back unit turns off and on way too often. Unit should have a choice of 25,000 50,000 or 75,000 btu's. I should have bought used at garage sale. J.W.

I still have the tank. The dimensions are the tank itself. Expansion of diesel ( that's what I put in mine) even when half full will still release at the cap and cause some diesel to "spit" out. Other than that, works well for me.

Hi Edward, we recommend 20% nitro fuel.You can find it here:POWER MASTER ~ FOUR Quarts of 20% Nitro Fuel ~ Premium Model Engine Fuel

Not a whole more but the truck will operate better. I purchased a Diablo sport programmer. I have not seen anything better then 13 mpg. I have a 2013 f 150 5.0l 4x4. However my truck runs better then before. My 2 cents. Keep me posted on your purchase plz.

Wow! Way over my head with that one! Never owned a propane- fueled vehicle, so put me down as a "Don't Know". Good luck.

You need to buy the Echo 90126 fuel kit. The 90098 fuel kit is not meant for the PB 265 L.

The Fuel model is better being brushless, lighter and more compact. Excellent drill. If you can get a Fuel model for less then the older style. It's a good buy.

The 40410 and the 40417 will both work on your truck as long as you have a gas engine just note if you plan to run the performance tune you will need to run premium has 93 octane or higher any other tunes should be fine with regular i have my chevy set to the tow mode with higher shoft points and firmness and usualy run mid grade gas unless the wife gets gas then she gets the cheap stuff took a 600 mile round trip just the other day and averaged around 19-20 mpg with 35 in tires

If you're new to nitro definitely look at temperature gun and after run oil and always run all the gas out if you're not going to run it in the next couple of days WD40 works fine for after run oil I've got a slayer 4x4 and a 4 tec been having the truck about a year and haven't had to change a part yet it's very durable

If this is his first one, a good option is the nitro starter kits. They usually include fuel bottle/pump, glow plug starter and wrenches. If the kit does not include fuel, you will need that. These cars go fast, burn through a lot of fuel for beginners and require a good break in method. I would suggest making sure your son reads up on it before he uses it for the first time! Hope that helps. Merry Christmas!

87 octane runs it good. I did put staybil in it to prevent it from getting gummed up by the ethenoyl. Runs solid my son has run 4 tanks throught it
