I think that that poster here that pointed out that the Massive Mods fuel is inconsistent has hit it on the head. as Ive known drivers having no problem with amain, yet two bench down of a different bottle drivers are having bearing issues.
also I have a quote from mark saying there is no need to run after run oil when using amain fuel , he also accused me of being a
quote" bitch with a skinned knee. Grow up Tommo " end quote....also something about me having kids etc
all this after recommending his HB 444, but saying that MY. Grp had issues with Amain..
this all happened around the same time frame as the now apparent issues with the motors at Liverpool club and other places around the country... .
up until Mark posted a very damning post against me on my own club forum, I was the best of friend with the Massive mods brand...not now though im afraid..
also Im supprised that Massive Mods would use his customers as guinea pigs for Amain fuel...
Im over it now. but after reading so many posts here and on other Aussie forums.
I thought id share my experience
Ive met mark quite a few times, and had beer/meals with him. i also considered him a mate inside this circle of RC buddies we all have. i did get my fuel for free too at one stage...pity it all had to go the way it did really as we was mates for a long while
Its interesting to hear of your amain experiance and it just adds to the long list of others that have seen the same issues that are related solely to amain fuel 100%
Dont worry i was qouted from Mark only about three weeks ago that "os speeds only last 4/5 litres" when i asked him why on amain fuel they only last 4 litres and blow up, He did not relise it but that was one of the last lines of hes bull$hit i was ever going to listen too!.. So with that i went to another hobby shop to buy some real fuel from a real manufacture.. And what do you know but at that store i met even more unhappy mm customers... beleive me there seems to be a pattern emerging here tommo and i am glad i am putting a well made fuel thru my new Nova now
I also could not agree more about the consistancy... from day one simple things like not been able to have fuel the same colour gave me cause for concerns
I think the real undoing was when mark released the +2 castor fuel thou.. after telling every one how castor was not needed and priding himself on that fact.. And yes both myself and friends have been qouted on more than one ocasion that you dont need to use after run when using amain fuel, However after a recent phonecall a friend of mine had with mark i hear mark has changed hes tune on that one now
Man i allwase like marks fuel prices also.. Matter of fact i found he undercut he,s dealers which seemed a bit odd to me but hey i did not mind
And dont worry about the comments you received from mark and been out of pocket... your not alone man
I race with 15 + guys every second weekend that used to use hes fuel and now would not go anywear near it for the simple fact it kept blowing there engines/ bearings... I think it is starting to catch up with him unfortuanatly
We all know he could never admit to the stuff up ... so be prepaired for more bull$hit my friend as thats all mark can do from here on in and seems to be what he knows best sad to say
