I know, I was just giving you a hard time... I don't know much about getting crappy engines... both of my Revo's engines were AWESOME. For some reason mine was a tuning NIGHTMARE.. I'd get it tuned, then the next tank it would be off (I think I had air leaks somewhere) but my other one NEVER had to be tuned. It ran at good temps, and gave awesome performance. My TM323 has always run GREAT. The only issue I have is if my starter battery is low, it has a hard time starting it.... but I think it's loosening up a little bit now. I know that I would be pissed if I only got 7 tanks out of an engine before it seized... I would have demanded a new engine. PERIOD. I'm sure the Mach .26 is good... haven't seen too many bad remarks about it. Unfortunately, you just got one of those crappy ones.
