    New parts on HPI Firestorm; truck is worse!

    Yea worst thing for me is buying new parts and things not working right. Tends to add to confusion. I put on a worn out set from a little engine I bought and sure enough it doesn't move. So, I'll be buying some springs.

    New parts on HPI Firestorm; truck is worse!

    I put it on without even running it the stupid thing is too tight so I was right. no play, no free spin. I don't know what that is all about in the diagram.

    New parts on HPI Firestorm; truck is worse!

    I discovered the entire spur gear and clutch assembly down to the flywheel was bad, save for the bell housing. Prior to this, the truck ran a little weird, but still moved and idled. Now the truck will NOT hold still. It is taking off at only an idle. I've been meaning to tune it better now that...
