class=390253501-20062005> I'm using the Boca sealed bearings (rubber seals)
in my OS 160. I'm using Wildcat 15% Nitro, 18% castor / synthetic oil fuel.
I think the consensus was that certain fuels (oil in the fuel) MAY affect the
rubber seals causing them to swell. I have not noticed any problems yet, but I
don't think you're using the same fuel as I am (nobody is). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
