doh! too much torque :-)

hey all,
this just happened at 6:49pm last night while i was out tuning my tnx. it was fkn awesome and ripped up the dirt and when i drove thru the wer grass i had like 5m high water rooster tails! lol. half way thru the tank i notice i could slam throttle but no take off. i turned off engine, came inside and found this after taking my tranny apart:

what is left of my slipper clutch:D

tnx mods again!

ok gang, here are my latest racing and bashing mods for the truck.

basic bashing mod (to add more weight to front of car for improved steering and also allows for another fuel tank to be installed in spot where receiver/switch box was):



racing mod (installing the fuel tank upfront where the receiver/switch box was which adds more weight to front for even more improved steering and also better jump/air control, will hopefully stop nose high jumps):


also with my 1:1 petrol buggy/atv, it turns out SOMEONE killed the damn accelerator system so now we have no throttle control. hopefully on monday the teacher will have bought the chain and i will hook up the whole system and also get the throttle working again by ripping out the wire from inside the tube/housing and placing strong fishing line inside it so then it has room to move about and can now acutally move the throttle lever

there goes the engine!

well not really, the engine didnt exactly explode or anything like that, but the compression got so high that when it turned over a blast of burning hot fuel and liquid scalded my hand. ALSO, the front engine case bearing (7x19x6mm) has ruptured and created a damn leak! now the engine cant get a proper tune and is basically useless. I already got a replacement bearing on its way in the mail from the US via ebay since i cant be stuffed paying like $40 bucks AUD for a single bearing, what a rip off!

and i cant wait to tune and get my teams 1:1 petrol buggy/atv vehicle up and running. all is needed is the chain and the brake setup, but someone ruined the throttle linkage and now we have no throttle control from the foot level, just great!
