I have a STS D5 and it is a very good engin so far ive only had it for about a week now and it runs good. Very fast
But i dont know much about that sts engine lots of people say they have lots of problems with the con rod.
they after run you should change the rod and the engine will last you lots longer. So if i was you i would change it after run in.
Thats what i did with my D5 anyway.
Cheers
Hope this helps.

The break in process is very hard on the conrod in any engine.
The rod basically has to force the piston up the sleeve while the fit is still very tight....

I ran an STS last summer and it was a great engine. We ran two eight week nitro seasons and my connecting rod went out three races to the end. Others also had them and the rod went right away. Not to scare anyone away though. The engine was fast till then and also easy to tune.
