Congrats sts and ferroso!
I posted in the other sts 28 thread but will say again here. I recieved an sts.28 and .12 d5r last week. I am very very pleased with how clean both engines are. Two big thumbs up. Best condition of any engine I have bought! The sts.28 looks like it will be at home in my Savage bringing wheelies at 3meters spitting rich.
I began breakin of the sts.12 d5r last night and wow.....what a pinch! 3 heat cycles and the pinch is still as tight as it was before starting. I can see that the sts piston material must be very strong and have a long life. Cant say how it is going to run on track yet but sounds nice even spitting rich with sts 6mm pipe combo.
Dino a quick question.... How many manifold shims do you recomend for the 6mm sts pipe and the d5r combo?
Thanks for all the help and cant wait to get this baby on the track

and I was told it is based off an STS .12 engine. My question is I have run over a gallon of fuel though it and still has not broken in yet. My problem is i'm having a hard time getting 5 minutes out of a tank of fuel. Should I just lean it up and hope for the best? Or keep running rich until it loosens up some more.
Thanks for the help, Neil

I usual use the shortest manifold setting because D5R has lots of torque. And I love more top-end so I just use the shortest setting.(no any shim)

The engine is a bit tight. Try to lean the engine "a little" and keep the engine running temperature around 100C(212F). What air temperature there?

STS black head (unmarked) 3-port engine
Hey Dino,
This is Jonathan Wang. I just want to let you know that the new STS 3-port engine with the black heatsink (no mark on the heatsink, modified by Old3) is so damn good! It brought me a 2nd place in Amateur class of Airtronics race last Sunday. Jeff Lin was there, too. And we had a good race last weekends.
I bought this engine from Geoff and he personally took care of it. I just want to say thanks to STS for making such a good and affordable engine, and to ProjectZen.net for importing it into States and providing great customer services.

STS D3 port is it a long or short track motor?
I currently have the STS D3 and a OS tr 3port. My question is in my short track Kyosho V one RR which motor will work best? The other car is a Kyosho Evo which I use at big tracks which motor out of the two should go in it?
