I went to remove the back plate of my t15 out of my mt2 it was held on by 4 bolts and 3 came out quite easily even though red loctite was used from the factory, the fourth bolt the head snapped right off with very little effort. I phoned HPI and customer service said send it back and they would look at it. So off it went 1 week ago and i'm waiting to hear from them. It's probably going to take awhile because i sent as slowly (cheaply) as possible. It really doesn't matter because i have 2 more month's of winter before i'll be looking to use it and if it get's lost in the mail i took the optional insurance on the mail for $ 100 so that's about the price of the engine or about half the value of a 18SS if i chose to upgrade. The customer service people seemed really good at HPI and i will be really surprised if it isn't warrantied. Remember HPI offers a 2 year warranty on there engines for DEFECTS in workmanship which i feel mine is.
