Sweeney23 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 How much you pay for the rc dude. Bargain still if you thing about it. Servos etc costs money. A repair to engine can happen to any engine tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff66 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 thanks again for the answer. as I said the bearing was put on with petruding side facing outwards would this have played in any part of breaking the piston. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
