I'm not calling you or the rest of them boneheads. I'm calling them inexperienced, incompetent (when it comes to Super Tigres) and too impatient, for the most part, to simply run some fuel through the engine until it runs right. It sometimes takes a LOT of fuel (of the proper nitro percentage).

Yes, there will be exceptions where quality control slipped up and let something out the door that was defective. That happens with every manufacturer. But I don't think every ST that leaves the plant is defective. I keep buying a new ST from time to time and they run exactly as they always have. Why don't I ever get a defective sample?

What I'm really trying to say is that if one wants instant gratification, look elsewhere for it. ST just ain't it. But that doesn't mean that the engines are bad. Just different.

I used to go through the same thing with folks that bought Fox engines. Mine ran fine. Theirs didn't. I usually ended up owning theirs. Then they would get pissed when I'd bring it out to the field and it ran well - but after a suitable break-in and set up.

Additionally, these engines were not designed to be 3D engines. Again, with a ganging of tolerances you might find one out of ten that 3D's just fine, but it is the exception, not the rule.

It would be so easy for the folks that own Super Tigre to change the engine sufficiently to rid its customers of all of these complaints, but it appears that they are not interested in doing so. So, why fight it. Buy something else.
