Worse thing you've ever done to your FC?

See a thread on this topic on another forum, and thought it was interesting.



So... What's the worse thing you've ever done to your FC?

RB rev II exhaust. gave me detonation... which destroyed my motor. Called racing beat and they said it couldn't have been the exhaust that did it but it had no detonation before the exhaust. I have spoke with one of the top rotary engine builders that used to work there (won't mention any names) and he said they do know about the problem but they don't care. Don't buy this exhaust unless you plan on doing some supporting fuel mods. Maybe everyone knows this but I was a noob when I got it and had no clue.

threw away about 6yrs worth of parts hording only to have a close friend of mine get a new t2 and new half the stuff i threw away. funny thing to is this is the type of guy that swore up and down to never get a fc, plus he was the one that helped me make the three truckload runs to the dump to get rid of all my spare parts. lol
