Hi, I'm Mike, and I have THE WORST LUCK EVER!!!

I DID!! That's what broke THIS TIME!!! NOW do you see why I'm going nuts?!?!?! I can't afford to buy anything else; I'll spare everyone my sob story, but I can really afford only one 1/8 scale vehicle.

Is this in a muggy? What is your setup?

Tekin motors are having some rotor issues. Its actually not that uncommon to hear of a faild Tekin rotor. Call Tekin tomorrow and they will ask you to email them a picture and they will priority mail a new rotor out to you. Tekins service has been really good for everyone so far. Don't despair. they just got a new shipment of rotors with a new and improved assembly method so the problems should be gone once you get this fixed.

All I can tell you is I have yet to have an RC of any type, nitro or electric that was totally trouble free. these things just are the way they are.

BTW: I returned WAY more MMMs than you did. Finally found 3 that were good. Then I started the cycle again with the Tekin stuff.

Sometimes it is just a good idea to take a step back and leave things alone for a while. Focusing on just one thing can drive anyone crazy. Especially if your having bad luck with it. Sorry for your bad moment in time, but life is too short to let your hobby piss you off. Just change gears and go in a differnet direction for the time being. Take up bikini watching this summer and get back to R/C in the fall or winter. Its supposed to be fun, not frustrating. Going through so many MMM's from the sounds of things is pretty much the norm right now, but as Castle upgrades and improves things will improve just like it always does. The RX8 has been getting rave reviews and doing pretty well, but even they are going to have failures to deal with from time to time. LIFE IS GOOD. Take a deep breath, and let it go. Tomorrow will still come.
