Hi, so has anyone blown up their mach .26 right after break-in because of the fuel filter being less than an inch from the inlet nipple, I idled about 5 tanks not exceding 160 degrees on break-in and started leaning it a little an got to about 1/2 turn in from break-in and at a race I noticed not a complete flow of fuel in the fuel line between the filter and carb like it was falling back into the filter, it was running about 195 at this time I got to the line and it started fluttering, I took off and had the other truck by 20feet in side by side racing and it died all in about 45 seconds I checked the temp 300+, found metal shaving when I took the glow plug out, now I've been running nitro for about 5 years and never blew up a motor so I know this was not my fault so its going back to LOSI monday!! :arrr: this is how I feel, also I'm running odonnels which has enough oil to run my chevy s10
