Hi all its just down to good old poor quality there are a few discrepenciys in the piston it self and the conrod/gudgeon pin spacer con rod bearings are poor to.Mine blew on me after 4 tanks i thought it was jut sand or someting like that but know it wasnt
Heres a few picks of rallyfinne fs engine
he has been doing some more digging around..
Seems the Zen 260 piston should fit the FS. A piston is not that expensive, so that might be the way to make the engine reliable..
Here is a pic of the piston with some approximate dimensions:

I contacted fs and they only told me that they offer a 10 day warranty and that was it.
I think a will get a decent motor so I don't have the same problem.
What is a decent affordable motor?
10 day warranty, that's a joke!! What's your budget for a motor? If you are going to put a motor in your FS, you're going to need something with some torque! Is your truck 2 or 4wd?
I would think a Zenoah 26 would be great for you, or maybe a GP290 like mine or a 30.5cc stroker... All right around the $200-$250 range.. Any of them will smoke that stocker you had!! Put a pipe on it and it will REALLY come alive!!
Yup i agree on that one
So i was thinking last night about these fs door stops they say they are 30cc
but in fact they are 26cc a lot of fs guys know this anyway i have 2 of these new hanging around so i had some time to check the insides out and compare them with a zen 26 well they are almost identical i found out that the fs and zen are the same size piston so that's good news
so i was checking things and came across the con rod and bearings like i said no good here's a vid so all can see whats going on

So if there's hope for the motor from fs it would be a new con rod and bearings then they should be ok when i get round to it will post up exactly whats needed and see if its worth it
THe HPI Baja filters are by far the best.what is a good air filter to get?
