so I take my new used revo out today for a second try. First time I tried I got 1/4 a tank thru brought back to check temps and the motor bout fell out. So all bolt,nuts tight. Fires right up. let it warm up a sec.I get about 50 feet out slow acceleration cause it's still not warmed up all the way, turn to bring back and DONE. it just quit. so I put it away wait till I get home to check er out. take the engine out yadda yadda yadda. pull the back plate off and kirplink piece of rod falls out. now I'm super bummed out. I finally get a revo and the motor chits out on me. Meatwad said it has 4 gallons on it. Is it worth gettin a rod or just scrap it? For the little it ran the other day seemed to rock. how long is the warranty for on these? if I send it to os will they laugh at me? I need some help here. I got a 2.5 to toss in there for now but I never ran it so who knows if it even runs lol
Any help would be appreciated Thanks
Awww man!!!!!
Scrap it..... Or send it in like ponch! Who knows!
do I need a recept to send it in?
Yeah.... Im Positive ponch had no proof of purchase.
he seems to catch breaks lol
so I guess I'm pretty much fudged huh. man this sucks
just send it in! They know that there .18's suck and blow dead dogs! They might hook you up!
I guess. if they don't fix it will they at least send it back? lol maybe I'll get a rod and re pinched or something for a backup
Here what you do....
Handwrite a letter. But make it sloppy so you look like your 15. Give them a sob song about how you scaped together every nickel to buy this motor... Say you shoveled driveways... Shoveled dog sh!t, ect ect ect.....
Then get some BBQ sauce on the letter and send it in!!!

I think he's got more of them
just send it in. type up a letter explaining what happened, but act like your stupid as hell, but not too stupid, dont say anything that would make it your fault, make it so it sounds like manufacture defect. no need for a receipt. they will most probably replace it.
