Amsoil has several blends... and they have 2 cycle oils for different style engines. Each individual one performs best with that particular type of question... That is what I'm asking... what amsoil blend are people using?

Saber, HP Injector, Dominator?

Status: offline 		Yeah its made in Wisconsin here in the states. I was curious to ask how it'd get to Greece

I absolutely love amsoil, its all I use in my 2 strokes.

They say it can go 100:1, its what I've ran my snowmobiles and dirtbikes at. I'll have to give it a shot.

Status: offline 		Sorry bud, I don't. Feel free to make a new thread about it (I assume you mean the Asgard trophy truck body), as not many people will look at this FAQ, if they've already seen it. It's not the best place to ask questions relating to specific models. I'm sure someone on the forum will know, or be able to measure for you.

Status: offline 		Hi, I want to buy a 1/5th scale RC but can't find the market place for these giants. Is there even any? I kinda want to buy a used one and I wan to make a WTB threat. Can someone here link me to the WTB threat.

Sorry I'm on my cell phone and everything on the screen is tiny. I know I'm probably passing it but can't seem to find it. Thank you

UPDATE: Found it! SMH
