Yeah, I only got 2 weeks out of this engine. I spent fricken all day on breakin and had it tuned to perfection. Damn thing ran for 1.5 hours straight last monday at a show. Never got above 230* the whole day and we were drag racing like crazy. I completely wore the nubs off my tires and even caused one of the front tires to tear itself apart and explode. Funny thing is even with no compression it was still running like a raped ape. Idled just perfect for as long as you wanted it to.
Damnit, I can get a new Axial .28 which will perform almost as well as this OS for less than $120. But I LIKED the torque this thing put out. Instant hole shot and craploads of top end with the 15t clutchbell. Was out running some Sirio's during the drag races with no problems. I'd put about 10 buggy lenghts on them and hold it all the way till the end of a 70 or 80ft run. Friday night the front end was still lifting nearly 2" on launch!
If OS won't repair it, then I'm going to hold onto the engine and rebuild it over the winter, break it in, then send it in for some P&P tender loving care. Ported/Polished OS 30vg should make for some impressive power.
