tornado xp disaster
tornado xp...220$ nitro,glowplug igniter,glowplug...39$ starting your car for the first time and having it go crazy on you and hit a wall at full throttle breaking your rod and putting shrapnel in your brand new engine...priceless
anyway thats what happened to me, An rc car horror story. When i go to start my brand ass new tornado xp the throttle was all the way open. so immediately my car takes off as fast as it can go and races around for 15-20 seconds until its stopped by a brick wall and i am able to grab it. i go to start it up again and break in whats left of by motor when my pull start wont pull. so i end up breaking that too in the process. i later take my broken wreckage of an rc car to the local hobby shop(hoppy people)to find out the extent of the damage and to get a new pull start and front hub carrier.i find out that my sleeve was too big for the piston and the rod snapped of the crank shaft.I'm hopeing to find a replacement piston rod and sleeve so i don't have to buy a new motor because the block is in good condition. if anybody can help me let me know.its a tornado xp .18 motor, all i need is a piston rod and sleeve, if anybody knows where to get these items or has any extras please contact me.thanks
