So what's all the inch high private eye stuff about Northy, if you know for real why not just spill the beans, i know ae is thinner than Losi but what els is different then, i why the big secret??

[Northy]

So how do you know its thinner Carl? Have you measured it?

Northy is a fluid dynamics expert - no one should question him!


Leotard!

I only use the AE oils, So as long as your not using 2 different brands of oil does it really matter if they are a little bit out

[barnyard]

i have always gone by this site for shock oil compaisons

http://www.twf8.ws/php/tip/shock.html

but this is only a guide and should not be treated as gospel as various factors need to be considered ie linearity of the oil between varous thicknesses and temperature

we all know northy is a master of fluids,in one form or another

no i havent but i know a man that has
link thanks to tyreman posted on here in another post

but as stated i want to know why your not explaning what you mean

[_sleigh_]

It doesn't really matter in this instance how they are different. It just matter that you know they are.

All the UK Losi team run Losi oil, so to run a identical set-up, you should use Losi oil...... End of!!!

I dont have a preffernce as im not that good of a driver i can tell the diffrence. So i run what i can get.

Ash you need to stick to one brand if you can, fo instance if you have a losi 35wt and a AE 30wt you will more than likely have a very similar oil.

[bigred5765]

we do run Losi oil, i just wanted to know what other differences there was other than viscosity.and the fact that ae oil cost me more,when we use to buy it

[Northy]

Well when I tested the samples I had I found no difference between Losi and Associated oil.

It's all silicone oil, it's nothing special really.

The website in the link contradicts itself. At the top it says there is a difference between Losi and AE oils, at the bottom when they have done temperature tests the numbers look very similar to me

My tests were done in a temperature controlled cal lab (@25 degrees) used to calibrate viscometers with a £10k laboratory viscometer. I know what I measured, you guys think what you like.

Good to hear it Jimmy, as sometimes I even doubt myself!

[bigred5765]

so why not post your results instead of being all secret about it,we are all interested, I'm am anyway others wise i wouldn't have asked, please tell us all what did u find in Ur tests, weight wise or other wise
Please,

[Northy]

I was just curious how people 'knew' they were different Carl, I'm not saying anyone else is wrong, but I know what I measured. All friendly banter
