All the brands mentioned above are pretty good. Every manufacturer will tell you that their brand will give you 0% wear, 3 or 4 minutes extra run-time, etc. (and they are all very eager to bag every other brand), but they're all pretty much the same. The main thing that I've learnt is that you'll get the best performance by using the same brand/blend for the life of the motor. Pick a brand that's readily available and stick with it.

G'day Mike you don't need to worry about that. I have now got a mugen mbx5r buggy so i don't need to drive yours. Are you coming down this way for Christmas? because if you are and you are going to the track i might see if i can get a ride down there and i'll bring my buggy

Default Whyalla.

Is there anybody out there that we can talk into coming up to Whyalla with us this weekend? I'll be heading up on Saturday morning with a free seat or two if anybody is keen to come along. Give me a call on 0140 569 642.

Cheers, Jarrod.

Have fun up at Whyalla gentlemen.

Julius, thats a very nice looking rig you have there mate, I sure it will work well for you.

Tom, congrats on getting your hands on a buggy mate, a mugen is always a sound purchase and I am sure you will have a lot of fun and success with it. I will probably head down to the track once or twice while I am in Adelaide. Give me a buzz on 0412 403 551 over the next couple of days and we'll sort out going for a belt on the track.

Cheers

Mike

Hey Mate, that was me I took off around 2.30 as I had had enough of watching everyone else have fun. When i saw you going to use Ralphies i just couldnt let ya do it... his was filthy . My motor went to the motor heaven, so atleast someone got to have some fun.

You can keep it bud if you need it, or just give it to Darren next time to see him, I will be down the shop tonight if your heading that way anyway.

Happy to help.

I would have, but got a phone call late yesterday from my parents, they have come up for a visit so we are heading up the river in a few minutes (I wanted to leave by now) for the day to get the speed boat out.

I got the front, rear, centre Diffs all done last night and half the front end before i went to bed... I was happy enough with that.

K, time to leave... FINALLY. Have a good testing day T0nke.
