EDIT: I got around to uploading the pictures from my camera.(Note: this engine is the eb mods pre-run in motor and has 1 1/4 gallons on it)
Notice the taper on the crank pin
This is the amount of slop caused by it(my finger is holding it against the pin so its on the pin straight, no trick photography)
random picture of the block with eds engraving
somewhere i have a picture of the piston almost going through the top of the sleeve, ill have to find it.
I had the same problem with my .24. I saw the slop and thought it was the rod originally and ordered a new one. When i put the new rod in it didn't solve the problem and that is when I noticed that the crank pin was rounded. I talked to Chad with trinity and he said that the EB motors were broken in way to fast and that caused both the premature wear on the rod and crank pin. Lets just say that Chad is a stands behind the Trinity products and now my motor is SCREAMING again.
On another note I have a LOSI truggy and due to the carb being so close to the center diff has anyone developed a "notchy" effect on their carb from it not pulling and returning perfectly square. I am now in the market for a new carb but can't find one.
Anyone??
