As a sponsored driver you have all the help you should need with Joe or ED. As one person had said before, Joe is more than willing most times to give you his personal number, although I am sure he wished he had not given it to me, as I called him on Mothers day about my motor when I sucked up have of Fun-Time Hobbies dirt, sorry for calling you on Mothers day Joe. The very next day we tried cleaning the motor out replacing the bearings, then tried to get it to run. Peter Martin from TKO bearings had I think both Joe and Ed on the phone trying to help. Needless to say the motor was toast. I can understand why as a sponsored driver they would not want you to post on here about motor related issues, as they are always there for you to call. I can say sometimes what you but in an email or post on this site, after the fact may not sound the way you meant it to sound as well. I have read all of what was Bryce has posted and although I don't think what he posted the first time sounded bad against the engine, but even he came back two posts later to state he was not unhappy about the motor just unhappy with losing the lead. So even Bryce though it might have sounded bad. This is why this stuff should be handled through your sponsor not on here. Anyone thinking about buying one of these motors please believe me when I tell you Ed, Peter Martin, or Joe will be there for you every steep of the way.
