Default RE: Savage break-in, PLEASE HELP

FYI
savage 25 rtr came with a faulty one way bearing. it was brittle because during the manufacturing process it wasn't cured properly. this was a recognized problem. my one way bearing broke the first day i had my savage before i even had fuel in it. it was faulty. called hpi and they sent me 2 new ones. my local hobby shop sold me one the same day with the understanding when i got the one from hpi i could bring that one back for a refund. anyway, with my new bearing theo riginal replacement i havn't had it break after 2 gallons of nitro and i have flooded my engine. so if you have a one way bearing problem again call hpi for support and they will look after you. they did me.
thanks
