from what people have told me, and my initial experiences with my first engine, 15fe, cheap fuels leave a castor oil varnish on the internals of the engine. this is caused by the castor oil burning up when running the engine, the gum base of the oil doen't leave the engine and sticks to the internals

eventual rise in engine temps. just one or two hard days of racing and you will start seeing a brown rusty colour on your piston. either clean the engine after every run or...

get KLOTZ DEGUMMED CASTOR OIL. no gum base, leaves no residue, therfore no increase in engine temps over time, easier tunning, bla bla bla.

good quality nitro metho and that's it.
