Default RE: LMH Vmax 7 engine

Hi this is piper511 and your not going to belive what happened to me engine, yep the conrod broke and now I'm left with a limp engine. The funny thing is I had already run like 10 tanks through it. I first started noticing something weird when my motor was having a hard time getting up to speed. I would start up the heli; ideling nice like usaual, but the motor sounded rich like it was having a hard to clearing itself out. Oscilating the throttle I could get it to start running up to speed. Three flights went by like this and finally the third when it got up to speed clink. I knew exactly what it was. I had a really hard time getting it started for the first time, for my dad said my starter was too slow. Are the new engines ok, what should I do to prevent this.

I bought it new!
