    Hi folks just wondering which way to go with my next gallon.
    I have a Raptor 30 with the 39proH engine it's had about 15 tanks through it of model technics 5% and the parked up so its been on the shelf for a good while.2years ish.
    I was thinking of a high oil low nitro mix but what are the synthetic blends like, and my engine not having the best rep is it best to stick to a castor oil version.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

      castor oil is usually the cause of poor engine performance due to the Gum it leaves behind, Grab some coolpower or Optifuel 15-20% nitro is a good starting point 5% is a Bit low for Heli's

        Again like the others Optifuel you could get the heli 12% mix, but i recommend the 20%SLV.

                Either rapicon or optifuel will serve you well dude. Having used both I think it's just personal preference as to what one to buy
