he siad the psiton was locked in the sleev, not stuck, atleast that was my view on it. But i'll use this as a good way to let off some steem! Why does traxxas rip pepale off with the erp plan? Its like buying a new engine but giving them your old one so they can refirbish the block and put a new crank, piston,sleev in, and then they sell them as new? IF oyu guys wnat to get rid of your old engines, i'll buy htem for $20 and you'll be better off!
