So i the day starts off great. I run the savage and slayer and both are running great. savage is drinking nitro like its cool so i am gonna be limiting how much i drive it. So i head off to the lhs 2 hours away to get some new parts. I pick up a rotostart assembly for the 3.3 as well as the axial .28, some loctite, rotostart shaft, and a motor saver filter for the 3.3 I get to rollinlows work at around 430 and plan to get the truck in top top shape before he gets off at 7 so we can bash. I install the rotostart on the savage and fire it up. I start to make some passes to fine tune it and i am running with no lid (stupid) so i can make easy adjustments. Well the truck hit a rough spot i didn't see, flips, and comes down on the top. The gas tanks shatters on impact and that ends my day for the savage. Luckily that was the only damage but it still pissed me off. So i put it back in the truck and pull out the slayer. I convert it to rotostart and then notice my clutchbell is draggin. I pull the cb off and lo and behold the clutch is sitting there in 6 pieces instead of 2. I race back to the hobby shop (its 545 now) and get the integy 3 shoe conversion for the truck. I get that installed and finally get everything back together. I spend the next half hour trying to get the truck started and for some reason it just won't fire. I drain my drill battery and decide to go and grab some whataburger so i can charge the drill while i wait for 7 to get here. (its 645) I wait the next 20 minutes for whatburger to fill my simple "#1 with a coke" order and get back to rollinlows work at 5 after 7. Nobody is there so i pull out the slayer to see if it will start. It fires on the first spin!!!! I race it back and forth a little and get it running great. 720 comes and no rollinlow so i bail and head back to the house (2 hrs)
what a day
what a day
