Use the Right Fuel
It’s imperative that you use the correct fuel in your TRX 2.5R for maximum performance and
engine life. Traxxas Top Fuel
™
should be used to ensure correct engine lubrication,
performance, and ease of tuning. Traxxas Top Fuel has been proven in thousands of engines,
so you can count on it every day for great performance.
• Top Fuel is the only fuel which is 100% certified to meet all requirements for use
in Traxxas engines.
• Traxxas Top Fuel is made with just the right balance of the highest grade natural and
synthetic lubricants to allow excellent throttle response and the best top-end performance,
without sacrificing long-term durability.
• All of the components in the fuel are carefully selected from the best materials available
and then custom blended to match the metallurgy and temperature characteristics of
Traxxas engines.
You may use 10% or 20% nitro content fuel. Use the same percentage all the time; don’t switch
back and forth between 10% and 20% fuel. If you break-in your engine on 20% fuel, then
always use 20% fuel.
What About Other Fuels?
Can other brands of fuel be used besides Top Fuel? There are other fuels that can provide
satisfactory performance, however, there could be long-term costs in the form of decreased
engine performance, loss of tuning ease, and shorter engine life.
Everyone has an opinion or a claim to make about fuel. The engineering team at Traxxas spent
over two years developing the TRX 2.5R Racing Engine. No one knows more about the specific
fuel requirements of Traxxas engines than Traxxas engineers. We strongly urge you not to take
chances with your engine investment and use the Traxxas fuel made for the TRX 2.5R.
You may use higher nitro
percentages than 20% in
certain circumstances.
