Paul,

for the UK you will be looking at getting 25,30,35 and possibly 40wt oils. All quoted as AE rates and as hopsing says a "rule of thumb" is about 2.5wt different AE to Losi although if you look around on the net you will find more scientific results to compare themajor brands.

I use AE oils as it was always in stock in all weights at DC Racing where as the Losi oils weren't always and some had to be ordered. I think that was due to the relative popularity of the AE cars to Losi cars in my area.
Both brands (and indeed the Kyosho and X-ray oils too) are very consistent bottle to bottle unlike some of the lesser brands so I'd suggest you use one of them.
