Maybe you should get an E-MAXX or something else electric.

On what motor? If it's HPI, send it back with a note what went wrong, they will replace it.
Go to hobbypeople.net for the XTM Pro, $149...awesome motor!

well they will pretty much say screws don't strip out on there own. as far as the carb screw breaking. hard to belive that happened on it own to on account that the only strees on that screw. the only way that crew would break is if were overtighten. as well as other screws being stripped same thing overtighening or crossthreaded.

now how much time is on this engine? conrod breaking wow running too lean possibly? are you the only owner? make somebody mad?

Maybe you should get an E-MAXX or something else electric.
maybe nitro is not for you i think that he is implying

how is electric better for me? ive been running nitro for 4 years and been racing 2. I dont think that this engine was assembled properly. I mean I could be that one in a million that gets a crappy build. I dont know what went wrong. The conrod snapping might have been my fault, I dont know though, but the screws shouldnt be like that
