Those are nice 97cherryblazer, They make mine look weak! haha
Here it is after about 10 minutes of "breaking in the new motor"
I got the motor yesterday. It wasen't acting right, I adjusted the tuning screw and it ran great for 5 minutes, then it froze up
I called the hobby shop and they said to bring it back monday, along with a sample of the fuel I bought from them. I'm starting to think this thing is a Ford..

that looks like my xxx-t accept nitro :P i like the look of the stadium trucks like that tho. and hopefully you didnt seize the engine, that can be easily done in the breaking in process if you mess with the high or low speed needle to much. if you havent got one already i would get a good temp sensor. i dont exactly remember but i think these engines should run at about 180-200. or just make sure you can see the blue smoke. and what kind of nitro did you use? i run 33% nitro.

Yeah thats right, they are pretty much the same as far as looks go. I like em to.
That motor is gone, the guy at the shop said he dont know what happened unless it was just faulty. I wasent hard on it, if anything I may have been taking it to easy. But, he's gonna send it back and order me another. I feel fortunate, not to bad of a turn-out. I can see a few ways where he could have been a jerk about it. Yikes!

I used to have an Xmod and it was really fun, but it broke (cheap eBay product, previous owner didn't take care of it)

Sweet Cuda! haha, I'd like to have one just like that sitting in my driveway right about now.
Is that heli tough to fly?
Thats a shame, too much to fix, not worth it?

Got a few planes and a micro heli. Was big into xmods for a bit when they first came out. Made my own chassis's using 1/24th models. Had a nice chevelle, fully aluminum camaro's and this brushless powered monte.
