R.I.P. $65 Picco...
« on: August 25, 2013, 11:00:25 PM »
Well.... I know whatever one says (actually its only craig..) .. But..... I was thinking about when I installed my nitro motor, and it was SpeekWeekend 2011!  2.5 Gallons of fuel (approx.), without maintenance, after run oil, or a conrod change......


Unfortunately when I was over reving the motor (it was not shifting on the straight), and hitting a curb at full song, the poor little conrod just couldn't take anymore and snapped.  Out of spite the conrod decided to take acouple of other parts with it knocking a chunk out of the piston, and wedging it between the piston and sleeve..... Sucks...  Was a good motor... Best $65 dollar motor I have ever bought!


Oh well,  Breaking in a new motor on tuesday... (And I plan on treating this one even worse...:-) )

Shawn.
