So my first outing this year and I load up get to my secret secluded bash spot, and on the 4th pull the p/s cord snaps. Didn't even get the thing started and it's broke AGAIN. Pack up, head home and I swing by my local small engine shop and buy 10' of quality p/s cord. I get the p/s cover off and sure enough the Rovan housing is NOT rebuildable and can't be disassembled to replace the cord. Once the cord snaps your only choice is to buy a new cheap POS housing. I've tried real hard to defend Rovan and see good within the brand, well one can only take so much friustration and getting sent home from a broken part. I can see if it was my fault but as is the Rovan norm parts just keep breaking prematurely on a regular basis. This has been an expensive $1K lesson for me . Even after all the mods i've done to try and have reliability it's a $5 cheap POS component that screws me. So i'm officially done with this total POS Rovan brand. Wish i had known how bad this thing would end up as I had some great bashing the first year I owned it. So a note to all whom are drawn to the cheap azz $$ cost of the Rovan's head my experienced wisdom DON"T , DO NOT , AND NEVER FOR ANY REASON DO IT ! Im going to strip all the upgrade parts toss the chassis and engine off a cliff and look for a Losi - something.
