Default 2-cycle engine oil+gas????

Just wondering if you could you use 2-cycle engine oil + gas in rc cars?

In some very large cars (1/6th scale and bigger) they used weed-trimmer style engines, obviously those use Gas and oil mixture.

In a NITRO car or truck NO. It needs to burn a combination of Nitro methanol, Methanol, and oil.

Definately not. Unless you go 1/6th scale or larger, then yes. It's much cheaper but unfortunately we can't use it in our nitro engines.

Most people say that O'Donnell is the best.
