Should I just use that tip instead of Bearing Drive, so i don't have to sacrifice the ED145 Spin Track?
No, since unfortunately Sol Blaze's tip doesn't contain an actual bearing to make it spin as freely as Bearing Drive, which does contain actual bearings that give it such high Stamina. EWD is the go-to for most spin stealers that want to make use of strong tracks like I mentioned; AS only has a free-spinning outer ring, while EWD has a free-spinning tip, which seems to be the better design. Testing has shown that a good EWD (be careful, since Hasbro's Evil Befall sometimes has issues with its EWD) is better than AS or other tips similar to WD for spin stealers; if your EWD doesn't work very well, you're welcome to try other options like WD, W2D, or even AS.

The rubber is actually *too* effective at using Dragooon's spin stealing ability against it; the rubber means that Fusion equalizes speed with its opponent very well, which means that the battle almost always ends in a tie. Since Fusion is also much lighter than Dragooon Synchromes, it's also vulnerable to being KOed, and it will almost be guaranteed to lose against any right-spin opponent.
You could take Fusion and build it for maximum Life After Death to win potential ties, using SA165 and EWD (or RDF for more Defense) to maximize your chances of staying upright and spinning in the last moments of the battle. MF-H Fusion ____ SA165RDF could potentially beat some Dragooon combos that don't also have the SA165 + Defense-series tip combination, but you would probably be better off just using Genbull or Duo on a similar setup or B : D.
