New OFNA .25 KABOOM

[TRDStreetFighter]

Okay just got the buggy today...came with a OFNA Force .25 doing the break in on the 3rd tank... then on the 4th tank drove it around not even half throttle.. engine stopped... couldn't not pull start.. took the pull start apart.. took the back plate off... BAMMMM piston rod in pieces... what the hell happend??? I was using Monster Trinity 20%.. do you think OFNA will give me a new engine???

Hmm wered they should replace it maybe not considering that it was not even fully broken in.

Thats says alot about quality control huh?
Your Ofna was bad when it went into the box! Yes, Ofna will replace your engine!

I know someoen that had a similar problem, turns out OFNA put the connecting rod in backwards (the hole at the bottom of the rod was facing the backplate instead of the crankshaft) and caused premature damage, which probably what happened to your's. He of course got a free replacement, infact he got a brand new Force .26!

hrmmm I've had 2 ofna motors (.26 and .25), + i know alot of racers that use/used them not one complaint about them... other than a tad slow :dance: .. possible defect, so like nitro said i hope ofna does replace this for you.. !

send it back for a replacement.

well I wrote them an e-mail and they replied to send back the motor with my reciept of purchase... I also asked them about if possiblity of upgrading to a Picco Outlaw and how much the difference would be...

cool OFNA gave me a new Force .25 engine... but I have no car to put it on now... guess I have to sell it or keep it as a back up
