Default 1/5 racers: what brand off oil and mixture do you run?

What type of oil do you guys used? Castrol, Yamalube, Motul, Redline, etc? Also, what percentages do you run and do different brand motors (solo, zenoah) prefer different percentages?

I'm pretty new to 1/5 as that is why I'm asking but I was told that a mixture as lean as 50:1 wasn't the hot ticket. Do you guys race or just bash?

Hi Wanabrc, I just Bash around a lot of people use this ->http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/atp.aspx at 100:1 mix . It just depend's on what Oil you get for the mixture some say 25:1 & 32:1 & Amsoil here->http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/Sea...?CategoryID=23. The engine maker recomend's 25:1, but it realy depend's on what Oil you use! It will say on the bottle you get. Just DO NOT use OUTBOARD oil!
