I have bought two new NX76 engines this summer. The bearing in the back of the engine
has broken on both of them just after break in. Engines completely destroyed.
The engines were broken in as the manual says and i used a temp gun to check the temp
al the time. I used a new botle of modeltechnic fuel with 25% nitro and 16% oil on the first engine
and Byron fuel with 25% nitro and 16% oil on the second. The themp during the 8 first tanks was
about 90dgr.C and not over 110 dgr. C when i was carefully driving for the next 4 tanks.
I cant se that i have done annything wrong. I have had manny engines before but newer had so
much problems.
Cen in Denmark sayed that this was a unknown problem for them, so i had to pay for the second
engine. I have read about some people on the net with the same problems.
Is there anny people out there with the same problem????
I would like to know about other peoples eksperiens with this engine before i return the second engine
to the store where i bought it.

My Genesis started to act up tonight and i also heard a strange noise from the motor so i stripped it. It was no surprise after reading this thread to find bits of metal on the piston head and the rear crank bearing broken up [>:] I'm going to ring the UK distributor tomorrow and see what they say. To be honest i've had enough of this truck now [:@]2 steering servos, all 3 diffs, gearbox, lousy shock springs and now the motor. Its spent more time in pieces waiting for parts than it has had use, when it goes it puts a smile on my face but it never lasts long.
