I realized that all these engines are made in Taiwan, except the high end ones, which are Japanese or Italian. In fact, I wonder whether they all come from the same factory, but are slapped with different heatsinks and labels. The other day, I pulled a Kyosho GX15 engine apart, only to realize...

Dude, brand new engine from Jenny RC is less than a $100 usd. Rip that engine out, save it for spare parts, and break in a new one. They run great when properly broken in, I have 5 and they all vary in running temp, but so far I have never had to replace a TRX. Oh, and for a bit extra, you might...
