Weekend Rebuild

[noyb98098]

Hey All-


So I spent all day Saturday rebuilding the MT, new chassis, alloy parts, new enginge etc. I get done with it on Sun morning take it out to fire it up to get a few test runs in and first thing I notice is that the new fuel tank is leaking at the top (never had that problem before) same rubber plug as the old one (which had to be replaced because my sprintdom came loose and melted the top portion of it). Second thing is that the darn thing wont start I kept the original carb which was fine but the engine is this http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.995/.f any ideas why a brand new engine wouldn't start? I hope I missing something really dumb..But I had this happen once before with a engine from DDM and they were quick to replace as usual but I don't wanna take it apart if I don't have to.


Thanks,

I just installed this motor on my Buddy's T this weekend and it came out of this box with loose screws and a big dent it the stock exhaust can, witch don't matter because i don't used that exhaust anyways, but after i installed the motor and my buddy fired it up and drove it around for about 5min it locks up, come to find out that the clutch it came with they never tighten the screws to the clutch plate just hand tight and the screw backed out into the clutch bell locking it up, so i was not very happy but after that it runs good, As for your problem just go over the motor real good and make sure every thing is tight from what Ive seen your coil could of just backed out of spec, go thought it real good and check your carb setting and make sure there a factory specs

Finally got a chance to get the Ramp MT up to full speed on a soccer field today (Vid's coming soon), the new engine is CRAZY fast the MT is almost scarey when it's coming at you while going full throttle. Had a problem yesterday when doing runs around the parking lot, the engine locked up (so I thought) and shut off. Went to move the truck but it was stuck in place, took it back home to only discover that my new metal gears had became locked in place, have removing one a piece of a tooth fell off and the gears began to move again. I promptly removed the gear cover thinking heat may have been some type of issues and havent had any problems since. Aside from that the new engine is great... The newly upgraded MT is sweet!

I thought I was the only one that was freaked out by a 35 to 45 mph 35lb monster comin at me. It's good to know I'm not alone. LOL!

I've tackled myself with a flying Baja before. It felt like a 350 pound linebacker hitting me. I wouldn't like to find out what a MT feels like.


Take a look at 1:50 in the video. That hurt me bad.

Ya you should see him with my Baja. He skillfully T-Bones all my buddies. Ask Basher the next time he pokes his head in here. He's got a dent in his side VRC pipe to prove it. I jumped his case for doing it and he put on this frown and quitly said, "Wellllllll... why did he stop in front of me?". That's the comments I get when he rams my Rampage.... "Daddy... MOVE!" I want to put him on a track but I don't think I can afford to replace other people's broken cars.

thats so funny. i was always objective to little kids playing with this kind of stuff. its easy to see them get out of control and not know what to do, but that little man gets inches from the fence with complete control. must have had some good guidence. way to go dad! makes me kind of wish i had a kid

 

[fastlane]

wow keep him drivin he already has good control of that rig

 

[DemonRC]

The secret behind him driving decently is called a Savage 25 LMAO. No really. He drove that thing non stop and never once broke it. I would have to buy up to a gallon and a half of nitro a week to keep up.

That was too cool. Its nice to see you give your son a chance to try something like that to see if he likes it. Alot of parents wouldnt do that.
