In any case, I thought I'd share some findings I've done. I worked with an Octane engine today and I noticed is has major air...

Interesting, did you try to replace the sensor with a new one, as it could be a faulty sensor as well?

I checked mine today with an oscilloscope, and it looked fine. Didn't run the engine though,...

Yes, I have a feeling that it is running "wet", too wet. At the same time I don't have that much blue smoke, quite normal I would say.
The fuel-oil mix is correct. I have also tried 2% oil, and a...

Yes, I am, of course ;), running a LiPo battery.

My assumption is that during break in, metallic residue gets mixed up in the oil/fuel, and this is why the spark plug gets fouled so quickly. ...

Wet, you can't really see that the plug is "dirty", it's most likely a conductive fouling that weakens the spark. A few seconds in the spot sand blaster and the plug is good to go again.

The numbers don't match, but I got a reply from HPI and they said that the Flux bulkheads does fit the octane. That's a miss on their website and they will look into fixing that, they said :)

I am back on normal mix fuel and the car is running fine.

So, if you have start/stall issues, get a new spark plug, even if the one you have only ran a tank or so. You can also clean the one you...

Yepp, it's an NGK CM6 plug in it now, and it seems to be good sparks delivered by the plug.
