I bought it second hand 2 month ago already built up but my plan now is to strip her and give it a good going over! I will take pictures but don't know how to upload em on here yet? Question? Would it be a good idea to use lock tight on the bolts when I rebuild it?

Great think i can see the 1 I want :-) is there a code or summet on my snapped drive shaft?

Maybe the little crash I had weakens the drive shaft to the wheel? Any ideas were I can get1 from any1 please :-)

Could be an option stripping it down then I'd be able to get to know her better!! Lol an I'd pro only enjoy doing it :-)

Today I took my car out everything seemed fine until next thing I realised the car wasnt driving correctly it just kept spinning whe I turned slightly! Brought her in an checked her out the drive shaft going to 1 of the front wheels has snapped off neer the ball joint that sits next to wheel! Can any1 advise were I can get 1 from and is it simple enought for me to do thanks! Also yesturday it started getting a rubbing/winding noise coming from it when it drives??? What could this be?? Can't be the drive shaft that snapped as it did it before and after it snapped!! Here's the thing!! I love this car! I bought her for my son for Christmas but after all trouble I've had with it and due to the power of this thing I decided its no toy for my 8 yr old son to play with so she's mine now ???? I've had her less than 2months and already it's had a full engine rebuild due to the person I bought her of just left all engine mount bolts loose !!!! New pull start due to him bodging the old1!! Then just when I get her back I crash her into a post due to the brake lever coming loose and she failed to stop so this cost me a new servo!!! Anyway I'm new to these things but learning fast!! Any advise on how much can these cars take In regards to rough terrain? Am I driving it like a mad man doing 40 over bumpy grass? Could that have led to the drive shaft breaking??? Or is it just general wear an tear?? And I'm having a bit of bad luck?? Any ideas/advise much appreciated thanks :-)

Hi did all that you both advised and cleaned the car down checked the plug and air filter, they were ok turned car upside down and pulled pull start and nothing came out then set the high and low pins as you advised and she fired up straight away :-) perfect thanks ???????????????????? just took her out and everything seemed fine! Until!!!!!!!!! Haha I will put another post up for this new problem hopefully this will get me more ansews :-)

Yes thanks I will give it ago tomorrow evening and let you know! The wet grass we were on was very wet and had just been cut so was grass cuttings all over the car ha should be ok as we just had new head/ crank/ piston/ barrel/ servo fitted haha only had her 2 months and had it in shop more than owt lol!!

I took my king motor out today on the wet grass without shell on! First ten minutes great fun but then it seemed to start to die out! It died out but then started again but died out again now it won't start! If I put choke on it does make a try to start as it should then take choke of and it will start after 2 pulls but cuts out after 5 seconds ?? Any ideas please and I will try tommorow after work!
