What is the best 2stroke oile and fuel to run in the Ramapage MT stock fulie engine 32cc?
 
I'm not going to tell you a "best" because there really isn't a best. Just certain ones stand above others in my own testing and experience. Other will have their own experiences to share I'm sure.

Any of these will work well...
Amsoil Dominator
Honda HP2
Echo Red armor
Amsoil Saber
Motul 800 off-road
Motul 710
Maxima K2
Maxima Super M
Maxima Castor 927
I have never ran this last one but many have and like it. I'll get around to testing it one day.

As to fuel, use ethanol free fuel from a pump with a separate hose for said ethanol free. Also called Rec fuel, short for recreational fuel. If thats not available, buy 4 stroke canned fuel such as Trufuel, VP racing 94 octane small engine fuel or Sunoco Optima 95 small engine fuel.
 
I think the e-free fuel is just as important as using a good oil. My favorite flavor of oil is listed above and mixed with canned fuel like jeepfreak mentioned. No e-free off the pump in our state so canned is my only option. A little expensive but to me just part of the price we pay to have fun.

Cheaper than nitro the canned fuel is.

That’s for sure. The runtime is a hell of a lot longer than nitro as well so that’s a win-win
I don’t mind paying a little extra for it for the fun I get out of it.

The run times are excellent for sure. Ive never ran a tank out before getting bored if by myself. I gotta build another track and get some of my old rc crew out here. More dirt road course with small bumps vs the full on motocross track I had before. We were fixing broken cars every week because we were too dumb to slow down or change the track.

what works the best for oil?
 
I would pick one from the list in post #2 and run with it. All are good oils and "jeepfreak" has played with more than one of those oils. Just pick a name brand that is readily available near you.
 
I suppose AV gas would be fine. Lead is a lubricant in itself but in the same breath not the healthiest stuff to inhale. But it does smell good .
I am lucky to work part time for a VP dealer so I can get a break on 5 gallon pails of their non ethanol.
 
VP C12 is leaded and recommended by Taylor RC on their big blocks, right? I grew up in the 70's/80's when lots of ICE engines were running it and didn't make me that much more stoopid tahn the kids tooday that haven't bean around it? :ROFLMAO: (spelling intended for humor!)

C12 , we've got plenty of that in stock but I have never actually run it , I have been using VP94 with no corn juice. Might think about that as an option.
Todays kids , I will save that for a rainy day rant but you are correct , the majority have lost touch with the real world.

100LL is only "low lead" vs normal av gas. 100LL contains roughly 8 times more lead then automotive gas did before it was discontinued.
 
In the UK, it's tricky (impossible) to find ethanol free fuel. Shell has Supreme 99 + but even then, it has 5% ethanol. Not like the old V power. 🙄

So, don't worry about it. Life's too short. My Fuelie 26 owes me nothing and has a 16 years worth of use on 32:1 and Silkolene Pro 2 Fully Synthetic, which I can't recommend enough. It's expensive, but I don't care. 👍

I changed the primer bulb to an ethanol resistant one. It still runs like a champ. On my old Baja 5B SS - 17/57 and 18500rpm - 49mph! 😎👌
