A big kick in the groin, because I already sold my Losi, and this is the weekend we were all switching over from nitro to run electric for the winter. I hope I get some responses quick...........
Hi Kevin,
Sorry to hear about this. However this should not happen unless the break-in was done too fast or for too long . You have to go very slow (1/8th throttle as indicated in the instructions) and only for 30 seconds.
