Hey guys,

I have a 1.0 .24 with approx 3-4 gal on it. I took it apart after a horrible day of racing (no motor issues) and noticed that the rod has a substantial amount of play where it connects to the crank. After removing it I inspected it and there is practically no brass bushing left. Is this normal to have to replace the rod so soon?? I also noticed a ton of carbon buildup on the top of the piston.. Oh yeah, I also had some throttle servo problems (losi LOL) and while trying to figure that out I noticed that the carb slide was not real smooth. It was really notchy at WOT which I now believe is what was causing the throttle problem (this time). I took it apart and cleaned everything up but does anyone else have the same problems?

Even after all this I LOVE THIS MOTOR.
