Sh.28 (que the playing of taps)

[rocco79]

I HAD (key word) My sh.28 in hb stadium pro till the other night at lh. I was runnin it around just practicing . The sh was just makin that truggy SCREAM!!!!! I brought it in to re-fuel and i temp gunned her. She was runnin a nice 210 - 225 f.!!! Ohhhh yeah no bog, lotsa smoke tons of power!!! Looked good.... Well the receiver pack was going so i was done for the evening so i sucked out the fuel that was left and restarted it to run what was left outta the motor( somthing i never do and shoulda kept it that way)... I plopped it down and the track for resistance(never wound it up into the rpms high ethier) and blipped the throttle to run the fuel outta the line. thats when it just quit waaaaay to abruptly for just being outta fuel....Hmmm? thats werid i thought, maybe the plug took a dump. Thats when i picked her up and put her on the pit table and i noticed it would only roll freely forwards and backwards a few inchs.... Yup, you gussed it, the con rod let go :confused: This motor was just getting to the sweet spot too (the 1 1/2 to 2 gallons of fuel mark) Needless to say i pretty sad. I broke the motor in nice and easy when it was still warm out, never ran her lean.... Oh well.
I called hobby people and told them what happened. They told me to send it in and they'll look at it. The guy on the phone said he hadnt heard of too many sh.28's blown con rods. Ive heard hobby peolpe treats ya well so will see what they say. This happen to any of you guys!?!??!!? I treated this motor really well. Its always been in light weight truggies. I guess its time to drop a 24/7 pro in the PRO!!!!
