So today I bought gas, oil, and batteries to break in the motor. Truck ran well, adjusted the carb setting and it ran great for the first tank, I did take it really easy. 2nd tank I started some 3/4 and quick full throttle bursts. I decided to keep going and ended up going through 7 tank today!


Now the bad news! I broke a front dog bone and cracked the CV axle, now I have a 3x4 truck, but I kept going. I jumped some curbs and POW, there goes the front bumper flying. But I keep on going, I was doing some donuts in a parking lot on my last tank of fuel for the day and the truck got away a bit and flew under a neighbors Escape. The body blew up into about 100 pieces, sheared off the front body posts, and cracked the top of the roll cage!


Other than that, the truck was a blast and looking forward to getting her fixed up and playing some more! :D
