I take my Buggy out, something on it breaks. right now its broken just got back half an hour ago, driving in the snow a little bit but thats not the problem, this time its the engine coming loose and some bolts have fallen out.
is this just something that happens with Nitro RC's, they break all the time?
I can fix all the things that happens to it, but its kinda annoying!
:angry:

Definitely gotta check stuff every time you run. Nitros will vibrate themselves apart. You should use blue loctite on bolts that screw into metal. Blue will hold them tight but can be removed when you need to.

You and also put a little CA glue on the plastic to plastic fastener and that will hold them tight.

when something is not broken then you didnt really have fun. also when you look at a clean nitro truck, you get truly discusted. clean trucks are discusting.:hehe:
 
be careful what you say about clean trucks around Rolex, but if you aren't breaking stuff you aren't bashing hard enough
