The Truth Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 One of the screws unwound but the other wont budge Where do you hang out adz784?, maybe one of us lives near you. Imagine if your dad answers the door tonight: "your son wreaked his car when you were at work and I've come to fix it" Good luck with the pull start, once they spring apart its game over unless you have 10 hours and a lot of patience!

tt-01 mamba Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) judging by your last post dad comes home in about 1:20 I was 14 when i got my savage. never had any problems maintaining it. How much experience have you got using screwdrivers etc before you got into the hobby?

rcsammy Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 rofl this is almost as funny as the guy who apparently made his own nova heat sink head adz either just wind it in and pretend it broke some other time or tell your dad the truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largeagain Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) rofl this is almost as funny as the guy who apparently made his own nova heat sink head adz either just wind it in and pretend it broke some other time or tell your dad the truth This is probably your best bet ! as you probably only have about 1 hour 17 mins before he gets home, and seeing as you have never tried fixing a broken pullstart brfore, i doubt it very much you will succeed in the ammount of time you have left *EDIT BTW Why at 15 are you not allowed to use your truck on your own ?

adz784 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 i just broke the 2 holes for the screws in the car thhat hold the pullstart onto it ... If i buy a new pullstart how the hell will it stay on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperhumding Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 How did that happen, did you cross thread the screw???? Or do you mean the plastic holes on the pull start??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt-01 mamba Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 you stripped the crankcase? Leave the dam thing alone untill your dad gets back. Trust me a night of bad tempers is better than shelling out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCChris Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Adz, you really need to calm down and look at it objectively. Ok, so you're going to get hammered by your dad, hopefully not literally though. Just be honest, you were so keen to have a go that the pull start spring snapped. Now you can tell your dad the next bit and you will be being completely honest. The spring broke because sometimes they just do that. It is not your fault it broke. It can happen to anyone really. You need to do as Mr T advised and sit down with your manual one night. Have the car with you and just look around it as you read the manual. You don't need to take it apart or anything, just look around it and get yourself familiar with what is what. As a newbie to the hobby there is a lot to learn, you will be extremely keen just to get on with it which is understandable. But you have to take the time to learn how to do things correctly. That way you will be able to talk to you dad about the car and you will really start to know what you're on about. Another very good idea is to get out there with other people who are local to you. When I first got into Nitro after years of using electric cars a guy I work with helped me out a great deal. Since then I've learnt a lot more and I am happy with any maintenance I need to do on my car. I'm no expert, but I know enough. It can be very daunting when you first get a nitro car with so much to learn, but trust me, you will learn. Above all, don't panic, if you panic you'll rush and then make mistakes. It's much better to take your time and do things properly. And guys, this lad's new to the hobby, he's got a dad who sounds like he's not to be messed with and he's nervous about his first Nitro. Whatever you think of the situation cut him some slack and stop taking the P**S out of him. He's just desperate for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
