First thing to do is take the receiver apart and spray off the board real good. Fuel in the rec can do this.

Yep. My experience was with the Star made RB. That thing was a missile (modded by me, it was impressive) but didn't last long enough to wear out. Suffered not one but TWO piston failures.

Good for you but you are not who the the thing was designed for. That's like complaining about your F1 car being too low to go over speed bumps. You bought a race car, not a grocery getter
