Hey guys, my rc10 went berserker last weekend and decided to do a full throttle swim in the Pacific. The piston is seized. I have the parts to rebuild, but should I just scrap the.15 and go with something bigger? What will fit without breaking the bank?:third_place:
 
The O.S. CR-V .18 is configured the same as the stock engine. Not sure if you'd need another mount or not. I believe a .18 would be a bit overkill though. Unless you're planning on running some bigger tires, I'd stick to a .15. Little easier on the drivetrain and won't suck as much fuel down. Get a failsafe before running again. They save you from runaways by returning the throttle servo to a preset position when battery voltage drops or signal is lost.
 
Everything was great for 2 break-in tanks, then ran two @ the beach. Brand new battries too. think i might just rebuild it. It'll take a day or two to do it, and i'll be throwin sand again. Anybody have any 2.2 paddles they wanna throw my way?:D
