How to fix?

[[email protected]]

The Engine is cracked about 1/2 an inch right the bottom part of the mounting holes on my 18ss on the left side. Is there any fix for this or do i have to buy a new block?

The car is a HPI 18ss rs4 3

Thanks in advance

I would say you need a new mill.
I've heard of people using JB weld to seal it, but air will more than likely get in.

See if you can get a new case off flea bay.

Yep, you need to buy a new block, at the very least. 1/2" crack is pretty big on an engine this size.

Chef... I had a similar problem with my MT2 .15

Went to hobby shop bought the .18ss and sent the .15 to HPI with an explanation of how I broke it in, and what the problem was.

I had a brand new .15 engine here covered under warranty in 7 days time.

Send it back! What have you got to lose?
