They use nitro fuel, can be bought at hobby stores too.
Avoid sheldons hobbies, mark up prices compared to Dj and Rc unlimited and very rude customer service.
thank you im in hayward so Rc unlimited sounds like the spot to go to..how much does a starter kit cost?

Nor-cal has good stocks, but is marked a bit higher than other places, but it might be worth it, as DJ/RC unlimited have a relatively small supply.
They cost around $30-40 w/ tax included i believe.

You could try custom street Toyz in Hayward and Nor-Cal Hobbies in Union City.

I would go to NorCal, d&j or rc unlimited as well.
