Hiro Seiko - because its the best value on the market for cost effective racing

or

Losi - because it is colour coded, used on LOTS of set up sheets by top drivers, a large range from 10wt to 100wt, and the bottles are conveniently numbered on top for easy indentifacation in the pit box too

AE Factory Team - because its used on B4 & B44 set-ups.

Thinking of changing to Losi as its coloured though.

Which agreed the halfs are used more and more nowadays but the rest are still OK

Blue - 20wt
Green - 25wt
Clear - 30wt (and all half weights too)
Orange - 35wt
Purple - 40wt
and so on........

The Silicone is likely similar quaility for all but the accuracy of the viscosity is the problem.

Only one on your poll has some good accurate viscosity ratings!!!!

No guessing which i use and is the best
