Hi,

I was wondering how many of you out there had problem with your Sirio Conrod. I'm running the Sirio .12 TRP PRo and after 6 months my conrod broke. My friends have a 3 port and after just 2 month it broke. Are the Sirio conrod not as strong as others or is this normal? Also I found replacement parts for them are very hard to get. I live in Australia and I normally order stuff from RC Mart or RC Model, but was told that they've been out of stock for about 8 months now.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
As I personaly faced, a lot of Sirio conrods are broken. It is very questionable to make statement as why is that, but I can say from what I saw-cranck pin isn't hard enough and bronze they use on conrod isn't that right for this particular aplication. I can sugest them ( Sirio) to coat pin with chrome or make surface hardening with higher number.
Defenetly if conrod broken something is wrong. It can be worn out, but no broken.
