My HB .18 has lost most of its compression, doesn't start easily any more, idles badly, and doesn't do hot re-starts
I raced it yesterday, it was pretty quick but stalled in two of the heats, due to being on its back (but I managed to start it back up)
In the B final I was leading until half way through when I came in for my pit-stop and brought it down to idle, it immediately stalled , so I filled it up and tried to start it but no luck. I was trying to start it for another 10 minutes. The glow starter was charged, the engine was primed but not flooded and the engine wasn't very hot
I've had this engine for less than 3 weeks and only done 2 races with it!!!!! It had good perfomance at first but is now less reliable than the stock traxxas engine (you know it must be bad)
After just spending £100 on the engine I don't really want to go out and get another one
