Can I just order the piston since the engine still has tons of pinch? Where to I send the engine to get repaired ?

Is this a common problem?

Thanks in advance!
Contact the Hobby Shop you purchased it from - they should be able to do the repair. If they aren't helpful - contact Kevin @ Ace (650-632-4057), he'll fix you right up. I would get a piston and sleeve set - kinda risky just getting a piston. This isn't a common problem - sucks that it happened.
