Dark,
I have been using WildCat Promix 35% for 4 years and loving it.
Promix is available in 20, 25, 35, 45 and 65%, it has 18% oil content (95% Synthetic and 5% Degummed racing castor oil).

I've been using Wildcat also as Mark "ob nut" Scott brings it up to me every year. He lives close to them so he hauls up whatever we need for the year. It's good stuff. I've used Ritches Brew, Byron's and O'Donnell over the years. I really didn't care for the creosote-like build-up that I found in the header and pipe. There's no denying that a lot of records have been set using it though.

No they dont! .Like Traxxas racing fuel only has 10-12%oil in them.. I'm running Traxxas 33% nitro in my boat but I'm adding 1-2oz of castor oil to 1 quart of fuel tocompancate the low oil content..From what I was told by a old 30 year r/c boat racer you can run as low as 16%oil in boats..I've seen posts guys are running 16% in there boats.

While at the Toledo show, spoke with John about what they are making now. As he told me, Wildcat is only making up to 50%. Believe I bought out the last of the 65% they had made up last year before the nitro disappeared.
