Really sorry to see it in that state mate, I still can't believe it's happened...

Lets hope they give you a new engine free of charge, and don't take to long about it

Me neither! I have been so good with it.

Run in to the letter.

Made sure it was running right if not a bit rich (nice healthy trail of blue smoke).

Let it cool between tanks.

Cleaned and after-run oil applied after every day-out.

Hope so. Will try to drop of the engine to Heaths tomorrow and then wait to see what Traxxas say.

Default Mrs ESC & I Make a great team though ...

Walked in the door , After a day out with the ESC RC Boys , The first thing i get asked now is

" Well what you broke today "



Me ~ ah just a few breakages today hun

Mrs ESC Gets the " Jato Bible " Out & Lists the components that i need

Much as i can do to keep her away from re building as well



... Mrs ESC On the phone to Traxxas hq ordering parts

Where would i be without her ???

Changed my mind about the Savages

Gonna buy a brand new hpi 4.6 engine for the racing one, and put the 3.5 back in the bashing one........hopefully then i don't have to be on my knees all the time.

Sounds like a sensible idea mate..

Im all for doing the mechanical stuff but it does become a bit old if all you seem to do is fettle with em and dont get to enjoy em.

Not like the 4.6 will be gutless anyway is it.
