Alot of people use this one, at 25:1 mix.

And then to mix it, you can use this cup:

I just bought a motor from Gizmo and it is there modified There RCMK full mods run at or over 19000 RPM and they tell me to run 8oz of mix for each gal. That is 16:1 they say no failures in doing this. Also said to use Quick Silver that you get from Walmart.

Use whatever the engine manufacturer suggests. Once you are more familiar with these type of two-strokes, experiment with whatever works for you. IMO, you can't go wrong with 25:1 but when using synthetic oil, the ratio is different.
