I love it, ran it in Germany. Consistent fuel mileage, great power, and good lubrication! Ran it in both On-road and Truggy, both running OS Mills, R2101 & Speed Spec II.

Forgive my ignorance but tell me honestly, how do you guys know which one is better than the others unless you run some sort of scientific tests? I look at inside of engine for maintenance purposes but have never compared 2 different fuels side to side. It just seems next to impossible to compare different fuels as engine itself changes every day with different environment and with different setting. I mean you might think fuel 1 is better than fuel 2 only because you see varnish or something funky on piston after running one fuel but it might be because you messed up the tuning on that specific day, or might be because your engine is just getting old. So how can you tell?

Also please tell me what you think is the best blend of oil, synthetic and castor.

You are opening the can of worms....

Plenty of threads on differences between synthetic and castor oils on rctech that are worth spending the time to read.

Runnertime is considered one of the best nitro R/C fuels available World wide. That said people will always recommend what they run so take it with a grain of salt. Best advice is research, and try things yourself and make own choices from there.

The general consensuses is that a combination of both synthetic and castor oil is best... unless your a fuel manufacturer who makes a fuel with straight synthetic oil.

Byrons is quite popular in the US from what i understand. Can't say i have seen it here in Australia.

I think between 10 to 12 % is on the money for on road racing. I always prefer a higher castor oil content. Most manufacturers won't reveal the exact ratio though.

Predominantly Castor based as all good fuels should be!
