ill tell you this is my first time using the 16tooth clutch pinion and its much better,now today i must retune again as yesterdays video wasnt tuned at all,i think im still too rich high end...seriously it effects low end aswell as you know if high is too rich.

man the place was saturated wet here.
the 16 clutch is a lot better

if i get a new vid today i will throw it in my own thread

hey you know what you need to do man , is to tune your carb for high performance and speed , then increase your fuel oil mix , its what i do to mine and its never failed me . you know the 2stroke oil bottle that comes with the 5B i use that for oil measuring , i add almost one bottle and then another half to 5litres of 98 octane , and now im using a 2stroke oil called silkolene comp 2 premix and its really freaking awsome man and its loving it , jeez the higher in quality of 2stoke you go the more power is unleashed

ill tell you man im using 200mill of oil to 5liters oil measured in a jug...

its good oil,syntetic.....but which is better syntetic or castor??

man ill tell you this engine is a dose trying to tune right,its easier on tarmac as you notice the tune cause the tyres grip straight away,on field they spin a lot.....

man i must spend a bit of time today with it tuning it,its tricky.

the cad engine uses almost a turn closed on each needle compared to stock engines lol

seriously

you seem to have a great tune on yours

Lol 200 mills to 5litres is like way too much for me man, use at least 150 mills thats whats i was ment to say, And use synthetic , i used the crap klotz oil that had castor in it and it caused hard black baked on crusts on the top of my piston which ended up causing my motor to shut down and not fire up and was running like crap, castor oil is good for nitro engines cos it needs that extra lube , but castor works crap in these gasolene engines man it even smokes it up even more from the exhaust, makes the mix too gummy and thicker aswell

yeah i often contemplated using 150 mill as i think im a little on the rich side now.
i might try one gallon of 150 mill just to see.....

why not,cant do any harm,150mill is allowed on it anyway actually it was what was reccomended to use on it,but i like to run a little rich.

i must start now on needles first and see with the 200mill.

yeah 150mills is 25 to 1 , i have gone to 200mills in the past and it never ran good i also run a substance called liqui molli 2stroke antifriction treatment to it i add 4mills of it to the mix its powerfull stuff i once went over the recomended and it stained the entire 5 litres of fuel and didnt run properly lol its recomended 10mills to 10litres of fuel , it helps the piston reduce friction in the cylinder bore and i noticed more revs when using it

I prefer a synthetic, castor blend. Now some are going to want to argue which I am not going to do but after calling Klotz which makes a full RC synthetic oil as well as their blend and my dads who was a chemical engineer to do with lubricious in the US Air Force. This is just my opinion based on what I have been told and from what I have read. Bottom line run what makes you happy I do.

Castor oil is a naturally occurring oil that is derived from a plant. It is a natural lubricant that has some very unique properties. When subjected to higher temperatures, castor oils will actually begin to break down. Normally, this would be a bad thing for a lubricant to do in an internal combustion engine. However, in the case of castor oil, this "breaking down" is one of it's greatest strengths! When castor oil breaks down at high temperatures, it's properties change and it's high temperature lubricating properties actually increase! As engine temperatures go up further, the castor oil continues to break down and forms a lubricating film that actually protects the engine better. In the process, this film or residue (like varnish) can also gum up the engine and cause other problems. On the other hand, synthetic oils typically are much cleaner and normally do not leave residues behind. Synthetic oils can help lubricating metal surfaces at higher RPM's when temperatures are lower. However, when temperatures rise, synthetic oils can break down and actually burn off leaving little protection for the engine. So, there are strengths and weaknesses of both castor and synthetic oils.

46u, that is actually very interesting information to know. I too know that lubes breakdown from high heat, but for castor, I didnt know that breaking it down actually improved its lube properties.
I have read everywhere that synth has superior lube properties namely a much lower coefficient of friction, but as for their break-down in higher temps, I didnt know their broken down products are useless (or near useless) unlike that of castor.
Since our 2stroke engines are continually bringing in fresh brand-new lube with the fuel in each combustion cycle, I am wondering if even if the existing lube breaks down, will that break down have any affect on lube? Afterall, the fresh fuel, air and lube entering the engine constantly replaces the lube that might have gone bad.
I guess the only flaw tat I can think of in my thought is just what temps do the lube break down? If the engine is so hot that whatever new lube that hits the parts immediately breaks down on contact is not good at all.

DC2, another nice vid showing off your engine's power. I see that you are feathering the trigger the whole time to keep the front wheels on the ground as much as possible. Since your grass is not perfectly flat (I see your MB bouncing a little), I can see why you are doing so just so you can keep the wheels on the ground more.

I am sure over the years synthetic oils have gotten better. But those nitro fuels that tell you what there ingredients are you will see most have some castor. Being I have quite a few nitro engines with 9 plus gallons on them never been into the engine still running great hard for me to go to a full synthetic. I even have a K4.6 with at least 9 gallons it still running great and you know what many say about those engines.

Yes I agree castor does leave some residue but not to the point it has ever given me any problem. I had Klotz tell me for RC engines that turn HIGH RPM they recommend some castor but only in the HIGH rpm engines. Not sure what the average RPM of the gas engines we run are but we know that nitor engines turn at least twice the RPM if not more.

I will try a full synthetic one day but right now on the stock CY 26 with 4 plus gallons on it with out any problem all I have run is a blend. Well never run anything else in it till some thing goes wrong. Now the next stock CY 26 I have when I run it I will try full synthetic and see how it holds up. Then I will be able to say what is better.

What my dad told me about castor was years ago so things could have changed. Once again I recommend people to run what makes them happy.
