thanks again for your help Terminator
I may have 2 trucks so far but really having no luck with both too, i just wanted something to give me a chance to see how much i would enjoy it and something that my sons could both enjoy too, but it's not going well right now the Tamiya ( no idea what model ) the piston and conrod broke plus the steering servo connection will not stay connected i will try and upload some pics hopefully someone will be able to help me find a part number so i can replace it, someone said a force .21 engine would make a good replacement for the fr32 fx engine it came with so will be trying to get one asap
the hobao pirate rt on the other hand has a great engine ( the hyper 21 ) which i have already replaced the pull start on as that snapped the first time i tried to start it but that now runs really well untill i break then it stalls but thats not a big issue as i live in the middle of nowhere i can pretty much run it where i like and as quick as i like without worry of hitting anything lol.
i have googled and read different forums looking for help for newbies but tho there is plenty of advice it always seems to be for the savage or revo which is great for tho's that have them lol afer looking them both up i would love to own any of them but as i'm still so new and unsure it's a hobby i will be really getting into they are both way out of my price range
will look up the others you have said about fingers crossed i can find a good priced one to get me started lol
