I had rotarys for years and only ever had one motor die on me - and that was my fault for letting it overheat at a race.
Yeah man, I know how it is. Adding 2 stroke mix actually helps the car, Especially if you have all the block off plates etc. I had an FC until it blew up on me, for not maintaining. Silly me learned all this after it blew up. I want another one so bad, they are too fun. i bought a rotary, not knowing how they worked etc, but im ready for another, this time maybe a Turbo II, And please, if you get an rx8, do some research before getting one, its well worth it.
