Fuel/Oil Question
Just wondering which is a "better" oil for nitro fuel....castor oil or "synthetic"??
Does each have advantages in different uses? Synthetic's the best for real cars, but what's the concensus for nitro RC fuels?

Well castor oil causes the one way bearing to slip, but provides a better "sticky" coat to the engine internals.
You have to have a mix and RB concepts recommends more synthetic than castor, probably at least 60% syn and 40% castor.
