Hello guys 2nd Day owning Losi 5ive T 2.0 advice needed

[GirthBrooks]

I am very new to this hobby what I would call a complete Novice/Rookie in every sense , my car is running and it is quite the thrill , with that being said when it comes to fuel and oil I went and bought VP Racing Fuels 40-1Mix just the plain Ole Gallon can from Wilco farm store . And I put 1 single ounce of Castor 927 in it mixed it and ripped it it appears to run amazing did not over heat no issues my question is , can I run the just 40:1 or should I continue to put 1 ounce of Castor 927 in every gallon of the VP Racing Gas ? It is a special engine 40cc. My friend gave me the engine and took out the stock one, as I am not keen on turning the wrench on a RC (ignorant who am I kidding I don't now how) >>
he did tell me the engine is a discontinued Bartolone 40CC engine

25:1 due to the rpm’s. Let’s see pix of that beast.

Id keep adding the oil 40:1 is lean on oil
I run 32:1 and it's ok but I usually add a bit extra oil when I'm mixing and I haven't had any issues
you don't want to burn that engine up!

Run the recommended 25:1 it's not hurting anything. Also I ran castor 927 in all my rigs and boats and that stuff is great with lubrication.

Alright much appreciated I will get some pics tossed up for you gentlemen after work today are we allowed to post Video? I was going to post some photos since the fella above asked but also perhaps a video of it running/idling as I need additional help tuning I believe the idle is perhaps a tad bit high but I couldn't very well be completely wrong as stated above I am a novice when it comes to this, my first week owning it ain't even over yet haha

so these came with it I bought this thing used for 700 bucks I feel like it was a amazing deal !! Idk what the parts are I mean they look like LOSI rims I'm assuming and some Polished nice steel arms or something and a basic antenna thing

It also appears to not have a kill Switch but I ran it 2 days ago with ZERO issues does my antenna thing compatatable with a kill switch?
