Hey guys after being out of the game for a while a buddy of mine got me back in to the world of nitro. Got my rtr HoBao SS nitro truggy in the mail and a few minutes into the break-in it started to idle up and down and then eventually revved about mid range. Plugged the pipe, killed it, started it again, same thing. I noticed a significant amount of oil that had flung out from behind the flywheel.
So now I’m thinking front bearing? Is it common for hard parts like this to be duds? Upon breakdown I did not notice any play in the bearing or crank.
Pretty disappointed, waiting for the new bearing to come in the mail so I can piece the motor back together and give it another shot.
I double checked, all of the carb settings were set for break-in as they should. So my other questions would be have any of you guys experienced something similar? And what about the oil that flung from the bearing? This can’t be normal.
