Who is it going to be distributed by? Any of the big guys or are they doing it by themselves?

Tornado makes good power and all that... Just make sure to use after run oil, EVERY TIME! The oil composition does not protect against rust very well. I have seen cranks with large rust spots developed in a week or two after using tornado fuel.

RC1 Racing in Canada will be there sole distributor in North America. As of right now, I think RC1 Racing is looking for dealers in US to help distributor the fuel.
I like the fuel a lot. I used it in Asia and this is one of the best fuel I used. Of cause after run need to be used, this is how you keep your engine to run in top condition. But I agree with ADA, not a lot need to be used. Also, they have good After Run Oil.
