No, you SHOULD defend it!
All you have to say is:
"That's not true, Strike fuel works absolutely fine for break in. It doesn't matter if it has caster oil. The most important thing is keep it under 40,000 rpm etc etc. "
Not that hard. Every post you make does not have to have something negative in it.

boys
good stuff
i have been able to take a number of engines apart that have been running team stryke( amongst other fuel brands ) and i will say without a doubt that it is not an "optimal" break in fuel as it has VERY LITTLE castor oil but on the same token odonnell which doesnt have much castor either doesnt seem to coat the piston/sleeve fit (compression seal) area as much as team stryke does . i have noticed that the team stryke leaves a build up on the piston and the sleeve where they meet to form a compression seal and unless running the engine above 230° range the "proprietary lubrication" oils sidewinder uses will for lack of a better term shellac on the surfaces of the piston/sleeve. i have also noticed a builduo of what looks like melted crayon on theintake throat of the crank
weird 
take it how you wish but castor is IMO a necessity when breaking in engines , i would recommend at lest a 6% castor blend , byrons race 3000 = 6% castor 5% synthetic blends , i am happy using this fuel for at least break in , not a bad idea to run all the time
i have tested some blue vp powermaster fuel and i can tell ya it is a great fuel also ( dont ask
)

3 has less of the synthetics, and is recommended to be used on the Nova engines. That's my 2 cents on the S&W fuel, as far as the rest of the shenanigans on this thread...................................... peralta is probably one of the most helpfull guys in our area, and the most knowledgable. Muggy has been helped A TON of times and has asked 4 billion questions on my local forum and has not learned a darn thing. Once again my 2 cents.

Yep that's tb it's great stuff but if you are running nova then the three is what you want. Just do not use after run oil. You won't need it.
Any other s&w questions just pm me that way we don't jam up this thread

Hi there guys here is the new Clockwork modified Novarossi P5XLT in my serpent truggy stretching its legs today in the car park at the track, tune was a little off but the power is crazy so I thought I would share this footage.

If anything I have noticed an even longer life out of the ceramic balls over the steel
Price is a little outrageous for the 17012 though

4,5 5,0 and 5,5 mm venturies
Hi.
Where would it be possible to buy those small venturies? Could be a lot of fun trying them and see how the engine perform and how good my tuning skills are
I've heard Adam Drake uses 4,5 mm venturi from time to time. If he can...
OS makes 5,5 mm and they should fit a Novarossi carburator, right?

true
The Monty Pimped X7 I have had the ceramic balls put in front and rear, and let me honestly tell you, that motor spins smoother than any engine I've worked on, it's super silky. After a few gallons everything broke in and after I take it apart and clean and oil it, oh wow, it's perfection.

myself I am not really into ceramic bearings.... IMO they typically fail sooner then steel and offer absolutely zero performance benefits....it kills me to see people saying ceramics help performance as they do absolutely nothing measurable or noticeable...IMO a whole bunch of hoopla over nothing tangible ! I have dyno and track tested ceramics many times over and my results were nothing noticeable...dyno didn't show any gains, and neither did any back to back track testing........that is my story and I am sticking to it,..bur hey, what do I know about engine performance !
