Maybe the 5% nitro fuel would help. All I can get around here is 15 nitro. I've been running the Byron fuel that they sell at Hobby Town. I'm just going to give up on it and buy another engine. I really like flying that Xtra Easy and I don't want to crash it because of that engine. Especially after your said that the cases would break. It's no surprise though. There's probably all kinds of hidden defects in those castings.

Thanks for the advice.
