I bought a brand new 3.3 for my T-Maxx and only got through 2 tanks for the break-in and it wouldnt start up any more...I replaced the glow plug and seal. I even got a new igniter...It still wouldnt start so i took the plug out again and happened to look into the head and noticed that the whole top of the piston is pitted like crazy!!! I dont know how this could have happened...I never touched the factory settings or nothing...Im gonna get a hold of Traxxas after the holiday and see what they will do...
I was wondering if anybody thinks they will replace it or what?

well if your able to take a pic do so. Some engine's when run enough tend to get a tarnish on them and when people see this on the top they freak out. Some with different fuels get more tarnish and some fuels tend to give a little less tarnish. Some times the tarnish look's a dark black and some just have a light golden brown color to them. Myabe if your able to take the head off and post a pic, it might just be the tarnish or you could actually have a problem. But as said if your able to take a pic and we might be able to help you a little better.
