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: online 		Ah, I see, sorry for the confusion. I have no personal experience of Amsoil, I don't think it's sold in Greece.

Status: online 		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 		FOXY...you got all the answers but you don't have the right question for me. I'm trying to find out the width and length of a MDC Baja 1000 body for a custom build I'm doing. Got any idea?

Status: online 		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.
