Redmax Fuel

[Troy Thomas]

Would like some thoughts on this fuel as i am getting ready to switch to it. I thought 20% oil was a bit to much. What oil ratio do you guys run? Any Castor? I am currently running OS XM, Nova .12, Nova .21, CMB RS .21 Outboard, CMB LS .21 Outboard, and Dynamite .32.

I was thinking 14% oil and 2% castor for a total of 16% oil but would like to hear from people running it before i order..... Thanks

Mix my own now but used to run Red Max using there rm900 oil with no concerns. Bearings liked it no engine failures

Agreed, no issues with 900RM here, works very well at 15% - 18%.

So does 14% 900rm and 2% Castor for a total of 16% sound good for the little motors i'm running? Or 12% oil and 4% Castor? I'm a little hard on my needle settings sometimes so i like the castor in the mix. Just give me the all clear and i will order it right now......Thanks Fella's!

personally i would run 12 and 1 no need for all the castor.. i used to run 2 percent.. then 7yrs ago went to 1.. now i run none..

either way 1 or 2 percent will do you no harm no fowl.

I am no expert, and am sure you will get 10 different inputs from 10 different people, but I run 45% nitro, 14 synth, 3 castor, for a total of 17% oil. This is run in my .45 HR, .21 LS, and all the .18s we run in RTR boats.

I was running 12% (that was NOT from red max) in our .18 engines, and went up after having a few failures. Not sure if it was cheap engines, or not enough oil...
