the conrod in my 7 tank old vzr let go yesterday
and the thing is it wnet at idle and stripped the gears in my new mrx4

i was driving it slow at rich around the track running in the engine then i came in to pit lane to refuel as i took off the conrod let go just above the bushing

all the expert racers at the track said it seamed to be a manufacturing fault and should send it back under warranty. the lhs said nope its normal for engines to blow rods (blah) and he tried to sell me another one.

im gonna email os engines direct and tell them that there local distributor here is being an ass about the whole thing. hopefully they can help me out seeing that the engine is new.
