Default Recently ran truck!!!(help)

Hey guys I havnt been on lately cause Ive been busy plus I just got my comp fixed. Well I decided to drive my truck. So I called up a friend and he brought his revo 3.3. Everything was great and I was about to start it so I fueled her up and primed her and then the rotostart button got jamed. so I quickly took it ot and disconnected the batt. I took it apart and fount that the button/switch wasnt working. My friend helped me start it , I was holfing the remote and he would put the rotostart in and would connect the batt and then quickly disconnect it, so the truck started and It turned off and I noticed the hispeed needle was in like all the way. It would be very easily to turn it without a screwdriver. so my friend called his dad and he said there should be a little o ring or somkething so it would be tighter. so we looked in the manual and it did so I remembered I saw a little oring in the garage and it was a perfect fit. so that worked and the truck ran great. then I noticed I was running in 2 wheel drive. the screw for the front drive shaft fell out. so i went to the lhs and got the screw. I put in in but I felt that it wasnt going in all the way. so i thought maybe its like that so the it fell out then I was like ok somethings wrong. Maybe its stripped or something. I guess I have to buy a new drive shaft cup thing. Whats the esiest way to take it out and put a new one in if thats what i have to do? And what should I do about the hispeed needle because after i took the screw out to check and the little o ring was broken so i put in back in but it was still loose?

Sry guys for all the typing.
Thanks

Is the pin you're talking about part # 86094? That is the locking pin that locks the cups to the tranny shaft. When you replace that pin, be sure to loc-tite the beeyatch! Wven then, be prepared to replace it (those pins have a tendency to fall out all the time)!
