my pull start broke...on the inside the PLASTIC gears stripped...sooo me and my dad grabed a drill and made a bit the fits into the spin start part..luckly it has the pull/spin...just need to buy a new pull/spin and only use the pull for emergency..sooo it starts up faster than pull. my grandpa is coming this week from idaho and i want to show him my new car...just need to talk some fuel money outta him..lol

ALSO i need some tuning tips...all i know from what i learned in the manuel is to tune the low speed you do a pinch test on the fuel line...and for the high speed you just do speed runs til you think its as fast as it will get...right? help me out with this part. thanks

The pinch test isn't definitive, but it will get you in the close ball park range. For the high speed, yeah just make sure the engine sounds correct while you are doing speed runs. Run it back and forth preferably on asphalt leaning it out 1/8th of a turn each time and when you notice no more performance gains, richen the high speed needle back up 1/8th of a turn.

my dad says we should keep a spin/pull on it "just in case"...i would just buy the cheaper spin only but my dad is buying the spin/pull so it doesnt waste any of MY money...

Heres another question: I havent tuned my aftershock yet, BUT i noticed as i was breaking it in when ever i put the breaks on the rpms would drop...and if i kept the break on longer than 5 or so seconds the rpms would drop so low that it kills the engine and it just dies. my questions is how do i fix this so it only drops the rpms a little if at all while the breaks are on..i dont wanna have to restart my car every time i break. thanks

Open up the idle speed a small bit so that when you hit the break it doesn't kill the engine. Also adjust the arms so that when you are not touching the throttle trigger, the throttle arm doesn't move back any further when at full break.

wrong the lst2 is the same as the aftershock its just a better version of it with a different stronger motor and different a arms and different size bearings and a couple other differences.

I began tuning today with only 2 tanks of gas left...we tuned the high and low and idle and adjusted the brake linkage (very touchy..) and it runs alot more powerful and goes faster and the rpms dont drop anymore when the brake is on...but the main problem is it doesnt shift...sooooo...how do i fix THIS problem? take your time in helping me with this one..i wont be able to run it until i get some more money for fuel and a receiver battery. thanks

just thought you might wanna look at one before you buy

Just so you know C&S hobbies is right in jewit city in one of the mills so im assuming it pretty close to you (about 2 minutes from walmart) He has quite a bit of stuff and i believe he has losi parts. As for you irockdude sounds like your engine isnt broken in yet just give it time and it will begin to shift my dads started shifting around the 7-8 tank.
