Let me tell you guys.....It is my "Trophy" if you know what I mean! My only nitro before the Neme was a first gen Tmaxx which is now over 6 years old and is getting a BB NS-25 conversion. After 4 different engines in that truck and hours of bashing, I never broke a motor in 1/2 until now! TIG / Good luck and I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Most issues seem to be with clutch springs and the shift point. Let us know how your breakin goes. I'm always curious as to the different things people experience during that time. Good luck and be patient!!!
