you know your back into r/c when.....?

[grim digger]

i broke the con rod to a 32 out of the box
just pulled the pull start cord to prime and it never turned over,only did a clicking sound,no fuel nothing in the engine,aint it great?
and here's the best part no warranty. axial (paul) told me con rods not covered,told me what i did with out seeing or listening to what i have to say,or even accept it in to check out
, told me i over reved it,asked him how with out any fuel in it ,got no response,all he could say is we have exellent warranty service,and how he is a racer and all this jive,i dont think so,
took it apart and the con rod was shattered at the crank,
good thing about this ,did not damage piston and sleeve no chips made it up to the top of the engine,so i dropped a new con rod after a complete tear down and flushing the engine parts out,
chip at al's is checking with the distributor to see about warrantying it or getting me a refund on the rebuild parts
engine works fine at the moment still breaking it in
and this is my take on i know i'm back in the r/c game,gotta love it:lol:
