Sweet truck dude. Few guys at the track are runnin muggies. Looks like you got all the stuff you'll need too. Don't have my glasses on, so I can't see if there's an extra clutch in there. If not, pick one up. The stock clutch on the muggy tends to fail.

Get some vids of it.

Not sure how you were plannin to break in the engine, but this method works wonders. I use it on all my engines, and they are tite like virgins....lol

Thats the exact method I am going to use. But I allready ran into a problem. The clutch came fucked from the factory, so It wont even roll, all it does is sit and idle, i hit the gas, nothing, just revs higher. I have some new cluthc shoes, but i will just run her back to the LHS tommorow or monday and get them to fix it for me because I dont want to make it any worse.

Other then that, I really like it. It had typical Losi mistakes, I had to tighten all the screws, allign servos, set needles, and put oil in the shocks.

I have some pics and vids as soon as I get her running!

Oh and BTW, sorry about the piccys Cabo, CS2 is being a bitch and freezing whenever I try to open it!

Damn I love seeing trucks when their still new just wait till you get it broke in youll never get it that clean again lol. I know a guy that has one and and like payso said the clutch goes out alot so you might want to keep shoes on hand. (and get the confidence to put them on)

high heeled shoes are easy to put on. You can get it that clean again, I have been hooking and every time I clean my ass some what, then once every two weeks I douche and clean it and replace anything broken or about to break.

The guy that does the repairs isnt in much, and he has 2 trucks to get to before mine, so thats why. Its been driving me insane.

I called today and he said he will have it for tommorow

Im starting to get VERY aggrivated!

Should have taken it to the hobby shop I work for, oh wait thats a long drive, and you probabvly don't want me touching your car

Next time, tell the LHS to fuck off. Call me, and I'll walk you through it.

If you don't learn to wrench on this thing yourself, you'll be out of the hobby fast. Trucks this size break when they hit stuff, so at this rate, it'll be at the shop 80% of the time.

You could've fixed it yourself in under 15 min. Without labor charges either.

I would have done the wrench work myself but the LHS has offered new clutch shoes and springs, and labor free because I had just bought it. I now wish I would have just fixed the darn thing myself.

I do need to learn ho to take apart and fix this truck, but it doesnt seem too complex. I guess I just hated the idea of buying a nonworking truck.

I wish I still lived in Sota, then I would have just gone out with Payso and RM one night and had it fixed in 15 mins
