First I buy my CVD. Install the thing. Go out to run the truck, pull the pull start and it doesn't retract back into the housing. So I pull it apart, can't figure out how to assemble it and buy a new one. So I had to go back to the hobby shop. Finally get it installed.

4wd...yeah! First tank I tuned all wrong and engine overheated so I take a break to let it cool then go out and tune another tank. Get it running good and then disaster strikes

Lost the "screw shaft" that holds on the center front CVD. So now it's back to the hobby shop which will take like an hour to get a 20 cent part. But it's all good cuz I got 2 12's in the trunk and enjoy the drive all the way...woowoo

Next time i'll put some threadlock on the important screws. It's really sad too because i've been in the hobby for about 4 years and fixing my cars for like 3 years...
 
Details, its all in the little details. Don't sweat the big things because its the little ones that will kill you.
 
Sounds like Kwong is being OWN3D by his own truck. Loctite is great and will save you a lot of pain in the long term. That is if you remember to use it.

=devil
