I run Engine Ice in my RC51 because most tracks will let me run it as coolant while regular anti-freeze is a definite no-no. I ran it in my 04 300EC for awhile, but I seemed to loose coolant much more rapidly with Engine Ice. I switched back to regular anti-freeze and it goes much longer without adding coolant. The RC51 has a recovery tank, so coolant loss is not a problem in it. Both guard against freezing.

I stopped using engine ice because it left a scaley blue film in the cooling system.
The scaly film was pretty thick in the water pump housing.
Next time you pick up a container of engine ice give it a shake and you'll see a lot of stuff floating around in it.
I have since switched to Maxma coolanol.

Evans coolant is all I have used in my past three bikes. I currently have a rmz450 I race enduros with that never overheats. Its the same coolant all the bike offroad teams use now. My current ride was the third bike strang raced last year and it came with it in it. Looking into buying a 300 soon. Never raced a two stroke before.

We used it when we raced miatas. some places, Barber Motorsports, wouldn't allow regular anti-freeze/coolant as it damaged their manicured track. Seemed to work OK, we ran on some very, very hot days.

I have been using it for 5 or 6 years and it seems to work well except altitudes over 10,000~', the bike still overheated just not as bad.
