I just got my FunFactor and the stock engine has only had one gallon of 20% nitro run through it.

I broke the engine in BETTER than suggested my the FSM! I brough the car to my local hobby shop to have it tuned after the break in. The engine was running at about 230-240C. I have not touched the carb settings since.

I was running my FunFactor ATX in rear wheel drive this morning practicing some drifting and the engine suddenly lost its balls. I tried to wind it out but there was just no power. I shut the engine down right away and put a good sized gobber of spit on the cooling head. It took 3-4 secs to sizzle off.

I took the engine apart and found the connecting rod broken at the bottom where it attaches to the crank. (G70340-07)

***?!?

I hope this is not a common thing? Everyone says this engine is reliable..why did mine pooch out?

Has this happened to anyone before?

Is there a connecting rod mod?

Where can I get parts sent to me FAST!
