Chainsaw Repair

I belong to a Model Airplane club and predominantly everyone uses redline

I ran it in my 26cc Zenoah powered HPI Baja 5B 1/5 scale RC car at 25/1.  No carbon deposit or lubrication issues to speak of.  That little bugger turns some serious RPM's too.  Kart guys run it at thick ratios as well.  the Racing Kart branded oil is exactly the same as the 2-Stroke Racing synthetic.  Only the labels are different (Redline states that on their site).  The only 'negative' that I've ever experienced with Redline is that some of the guys I've cut with have complained about the smell/fumes.  Bike guys recognize the smell and smile however...

I've read some internet comments stating that Redline 2-Stroke Racing synthetic doesn't provide sufficient corrosion protection (for the bearings and other steel parts) or that it's even hydroscopic (draws water).  I think that's all internet bunk.  I've torn down motorcycle and saw engines that have sat on the shelf for 20 years or more.  These engines had last ran with Redline oil.  Still had a film of oil on all the internals, and NO corrosion.  Redline states that their oil is safe to use with alcohol and gasoline/alcohol blended fuels.  Alcohol is what's hydroscopic, not the oil...
