Of course now, it needs again new bearings, conrod, pin and a new crank to have it repaired.
Hopefully, I borrowed an engine from a friend and I ran the race, in which I finished second.
Regards,
Sorry to hear it my friend. I actually think the motors are fast and easy to tune so it is a shame that they suffer from this.
I would have been far less annoyed with Sirio if they would just fix the defects without argument and huge delay.
I have a RB (old one X12) that lasted me 28 litres on original crank and bearings and liner!! Had quite a few rods however. In fact it still is surving.
