Default WIERDEST BROKEN MOTOR STORY YOU WILL EVER HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok,.......i bought an OFNA ravager {and dont let this run in steer you away from the car} broke it in 3 tanks and during there was a wierd RATTLING, but i didnt think much of it....... So assembly line guys goofed up the gear mesh, it was cocked and too close, so i proceeded to loosen the motor for an adjust. Loosen up one alan, loosen up 2 alan AND A CHUNK OF THE MOUNTING FLANGE OFF THE BLOCK CRACKS OFF, i go in for a closer look, THE ENTIRE MOUNTING FLANGE HAS CRACKED OFF. WHAT A PIECE!!!!!!!!!


SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IT USED OR CAN THEY SEND ME A NEW ONE



DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE THE CAR JUST NOT THE MOTOR

HN the gear mesh is how the spur gear and the clutch bell gear fit together.

I have broken the flange before. The cost of a new block is usually too much to pursue a repair.
