Going CRAZY Trying To Find Best 2 Stroke Oil?

[Twistofkain]

Hello!


I just purchased a Chimera and this is my first 1/5 scale. I am going crazy trying to find the best oil to use. I've read that Klotz is very good, but my question is which version of this oil? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any synthetic 2 stroke oil.

Go to any motorcycle garage and he will have plenty.

Motul brand is great.

Same as klotz

Thanks! Which version of Motul do you suggest?

I ran Lucas two stroke oil with great results. I've also ran the cheap stuff from the hardware store without a problem.

I see two that look like they would do the trick:

1. Kart Grand Prix 2T

2. One of the 800 2T lines

You can find it at most autoparts stores. I got mine from Autozone.

I use the lucas also. I love it. I use to use blue ray but were I bought it at closed up and I didn't feel like driving 40 mins to buy some so I switched and am very happy with the results.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the help! Tomorrow I'll begin breaking it in!

Best 2 Stroke Oil?

What about for break-in, any suggestions for non-synthetic? I keep reading that I should only break-in with non-synthetic oil.

just ordered a Chimera and wanted to know if anyone runs trufuel? it runs great in all my other 2 stroke equipment, thats for sure.

Absolutely not! These are not weed Wacker's and require more lube than 50/1 and not to mention you will blow a can in no time along with money...your better off running a nitro car at that price.

 

[topblissgt]

ok thanks. What is the gas/oil ratio of these cars?

Looks like the richest mix they have is 40:1, which is doable, but your tuning skill has to be really good. You don't have that cushion for error that you would have with 25:1 or 32:1.

For breaking in an engine, I use whatever I have at the time. Mostly non-synthetic and semi-synthetic. I do break them in hard, though. The ring needs a load to seat properly, so I take a few warm up laps and then run it hard. Never had a problem with this method.
