RE: wicked wreck today snapped off intake head
Personally I would pull everything apart and soak it all in Diesel fuel for a little while. Take one piece out at a time and brush everything off with a soft paint brush, dip it in the Diesel fuel once again, then blow everything off with the air compressor. Wipe everything down with a clean dry cloth or paper towel. Then take another paper towel with after run oil on it, wipe everything down with the after run oil, and reassemble everything.

Wait wait, What do you mean by air intake head? The cooling head? Was the inside of your motor visible?

dowloaded the parts diagram from Traxxas and use that as a guide to rebuild. It is easy, just pay attention to what you are doing

RE: wicked wreck today snapped off intake head
here's a video of how to take it apart. it's probably easier to watch a video than look at a manual. the videos are long but packed with good info...

friggin' sweet, I love seeing the insides of someone elses engine
What did you go under to get it to pop like that? When I did mine it landed funny on its lid and made a weird noise.

A full-size car snuck up behind me.....by time I saw it, it was too late. I only crushed the motor and rear body post. You think my motor looks bad you should have seen his oil pan...LOL....My parts will cost about 130 total his is alot more. There is nothing salvagable of this motor. Some of the skirt is broke off the crank and connecting rod are both really bent.

Yep, they said send it in with all the pieces. I even told them there is no way they could rebuild this motor. They said send it.
