I bought a Megatech MTC4605, the direct drop in hop-up for the T-Maxx. It is a pull start .16 engine. It is advertised and marketed for the T-Maxx. You'd figure it would have a little info for the T-Maxx, however, there is none. I know that a lot of manufactures do not include great info for their products, but Megatech takes the cake. I am very experienced in breaking in car/truck pull start engines, but this have to be the most difficult engine I have ever seen. You name it, I've done it. New glow plug, check. Tilting the truck in every possible position to avoid flooding, check. Adjusting, readjusting, rereadjusting the high/low speed needles, check. Three different glow igniters, check. Walking away, hiding around the corner and trying to sneak up on it, check. Currently, I am working out my other arm to avoid the Popeye arms I am getting from turning the engine. Has anyone else experienced this wonderful engine? Any suggestions? I did drop a line to Megatech today (3/23 at 930am) and I will let all of you know when I get a response from them, and what they suggest.

I have watched this thread for almost month now and still no new information, I was looking into Megatech's line of engines for a replacement T-Maxx engine but was waiting to see how you came out with it, did you ever find the problem?????????? What sort of response did you get out of Megatech???????

Megatech did nothing, and I mean nothing to help me. Sad. However, I bought a quick start adapter for the M16 and I got it running great. It took a lot of time to break it in, and I found no help from Megatech. I am now happy with the engine. So, I guess it just shows that I shouldn't have trashed the engine before I had time with it. But, I will say, time and time again, their customer support stinks.
