I received my XB Monday of this week, tried to get her running that night to no avail. Took out the sparkplug, noticed no burnt fuel. Checked the coil, it was good. Today I went and bought a couple NGK sparkplugs.. She fired right up but ran very sporadically for about six seconds then died. Called redcat made sure factory carb settings were correct. They were a hair off, started it up again, ran about twenty seconds then came to an abrupt halt with the redcat employee on the line.. Go to pull it again, handle broke while I was pulling it; cut me pretty good and it is seized.
So I pulled the motor in prep to send it back to redcat tomorrow. Pretty down although I was glad to see they are readily available to help their customers.. I wish they came with NGKs upon initial purchase.. If they replace the motor no harm no fowl, it is my first redcat so I wont let it speak entirely for their quality assurance.
Sounded pretty mean for the thirty seconds I was able to hear it run lol.. Servos, gears, and all other functions are in order as far as I could tell.
