What oil can I use?
Hello, I just purchased a new in the box Pro Boat 1/8 scale Miss Elam from a hobby store and was wondering about what kind of premix oil can I run in it? The hobby store is over an hour drive to get to so I was wondering if I can run a motorcycle 2 stroke premix in it. The motorcycle shop is a 5 minute drive and they have Maxima racing oil that is a synthetic polyolester oil. I need all the input I can get on these boats. Thanks,

I use Castrol A747, designed for high revving cart engines & wet conditions. Many bike stores also stock it.

Seems Castrol stopped making it. I wonder if they have a replacement:

I use Amsoil Dominator Racing oil. I mix 8 ounces per gallon of gas. My motors are clean and powerful with no excess wear.

I just spoke to the Aussie Castrol Tech guy & so far over hear there is no plan on discontinuing the A747 line, they sell a lot of 1 liter bottles to go-carters so it's safe for now.
Phew, thought I was going to have to stock up.

Plenty of other good oils around. Though 747 smells good and you don't get ht spot seizures when the cooling lines come off. Well - not unless it gets REALLY hot.
