I use to be big into nitro rc planes, cars n trucks but brushless came out and was totally inferior to the high end picco and novafar engines that I went to electric brushless or true gassers. nitro is spendy, messy and needs tuning every tank. Well this is what a brushless car can do now days

I've had nitros and the brushless is so much easier. I ended up trading a fs130 for the boat. It was $1200 new and it is gas which was a plus

What oil set up do you guys use for breaking in a new motor?

I usually run a semi synthetic....ad Ben said finding full mineral oils is proving tough. Minus OPE brands.


I broke in a 562 on Super M and it looked very healthy.

I usually like to anyways. Lol

After break on for a few good tanks of work I run whatever lol

All of the OPE oils I have looked at lately are syn blends.
Break in is largely BS with motors that use ball/ roller bearings. My break in procedure is to gas them up with the mix I intend to run in them and then go run the absolute snot out of them to seat the rings.

That to....I have a few topends broken in on synthetic.

I like a good mineral oil but technique has a huge part of it.

If it is going to blow I rather have it happen during break in than rather on the trail.

Wouldn't Red Armor be a good choice on Stihl's 4Mix engines that need
de-carbonized at times to keep the engines clean?

I just bought a 6.4 oz. bottle of Shindaiwa Red Armor. I bought a quart of Honda HP2 as well. Shindaiwa be better than Echo Red Armor. Lol

went to my trust ope/echo dealer today to pick up some Red armor a big sign on the door saying closed until further notice? wht!!! called the number for there other store that like 200 miles away lady said everyone walked out last week. So I go to the other echo dealer and these guys are close but dumb as in I went there once to get a poulan air filter dude asked me if it ran a brigs. So I asked them the price of a 6 pack of 3.2 oil 21.50 so I politely said GFY and walked out.
