very good point Roby,Most engine manufacturers factory bench run your engines anyway, 3W,Brison,BME,Fox,Taurus,Zenoah,don't know about DA,or ZDZ though,I would imagine they do-atleast I hope so! These things are run enough from the factory to stress relieve them and check rpm's and to set needles enough to get them out the door to you and me. By the time these motors reach you they are run enough to start running synthetic oil.
Many OEM's are starting to run synthetic directly from the factory as factory fills. In fact some of the manufacturers state directly in warranty that warranty is void if synthetic oil is not used!!!!!!!!!!!Kris being a master mechanic should be able to agree with me on that one.
These motors are run at factory for stress relief/just like our RC motors
These motors are run to ensure reliability in starting/just like our RC motors/
these motors are run at factory to ensure they are good enough to take to the public for sale/just like our RC motors
and every other 2 cycle motor on the market today.

Ther isn't one single motor out there that is not factory tested /or atleast it's supposed to be before you get it,from chainsaws to weedeaters.
and YES our motors can be compared to larger motors with very tight tolerances. Our motors are too and even more so than 90% of the vehicles on the road today!! Our motors are machined to EXACT TOLERENCES, these engines are made to run at 6000 to 8500 rpm's,Most vehicles on the road today can't hit 6000 before the valves start to float,and the ones that can like the Corvette,some of the Mustangs,Lotus's,Masda's,and some of the German made automobiles come straight from the factory filled with synthetic motor oil. Not only are they factory filled but some actually state that warranty is void if synthetic is not used!! Our RC motors rate right up there with the best if not better.I don't think anyone here has a stock V8 that will hit 8500 rpm's and hold it for 10 to 15 minutes and not fly apart! I have a motor that will do exactly that and it's sitting in front of my model airplane,and guess what-- it has never seen conventional 2 cycle oil except in the factory where it was first run!!
Over the last couple of days I have done a little more research on synthetics and have also contacted an expert on synthetic oils. His name is Emery Layton a synthetic engineer,he works for Gulfside Synthetics based out of Baton Rouge Louisiana. He is more than willing to answer questions or send you any info you would like. His email address is -- [email protected]
he pointed me to a few articles that I thought were very interesting you might like this one.


article is from Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords Magazine, with additional commentary by Performance Oil Technology, L.L.C.

Have you ever heard the story about the light bulb that doesn’t burn out or the razor that never dulls? Sure, these stories get exaggerated, but sometimes there’s an element of truth to the rumors leaking out of a manufacturers skunkworks. One particular rumor that sounds too good to be true is “an experimental motor oil that increases horsepower, practically stops internal engine wear in its tracks and improves fuel efficiency.”

Well, synthetic motor oil is not a rumor. It’s been in use ever since World War II (the Germans used it on the cold eastern front because conventional oil wouldn’t flow in the arctic-like weather). Even though it sounds too good to be true, synthetics do reduce engine wear, improve gas mileage and increase horsepower.
Interestingly enough, the biggest reason that synthetic lubricants are not in widespread use is because the would-be consumer does not know of the benefits provided by synthetics. Also, they are not sure where to go to ask or who to ask. You should seek out and acquire information from a Certified Lubrication Specialist, lubrication engineer or unbiased automotive engineer or competent mechanic that fully understands and can explain the benefits of synthetics and the drawbacks of mineral-based oil to the consumer. But beware, there are many mechanics out there that are so engrained in the old way of thinking that they refuse to change their way of thinking or even open up their minds to the fact that there are automotive engineers, lubrication engineers and chemists that know a heck of a lot more about motor oils, filtration, vehicles and synthetics than them

that being said remember that our engines are factory run/or atleast their supposed to be, to be stress relieved and needles set so that when we the consumers get them they are ready to goooooooooooooo!

there are alot of articles about synthetics and if you look deep enough you can find conflicting reports that go either way. And by the way Diablo I didn't mean to say your books were as old as dinosaurs I know your an engineer even though your articles have been published in the past few years there has been research done that almost puts that material out of date already.Atleast where oil and wear is concerned.
Our Radio control engines are at the top of the heap as far as 2 strokes go and far out perform the top of the line factory V8 comparible in size mind you, Why wouldn't you treat it the same way. Old school ways still apply these days and probably will for years to come/maybe, but that certainly doesn't mean that new school ways don't work/or won't. The proof is in the pudding!!
