Let's see....
I was out running today and my clutch started acting up. Seemed like the clutch was slipping badly under full throttle, but it quit it after about 30 seconds.... so I figured it was a glitch... then it started dying if I would come to a stop. So, after starting it a couple of times and it dying again without throttle, I picked up the truck and started it. Whattya know, the wheels are spinning. I put her down and she died... guess I'll be tearing into it later on tonight. Gotta do some cleaning around the house so the wife dont get jealous of me playing with my toys....
Other issues have been:
transmission will not stay in low gear. The lock knob will be in the tab in the back but it just pops out after a couple of minutes. This really sucks b/c when it pops out the truck is in "neutral" and there is no strain on the engine and it likes to rev up... first happened during break in and really pissed me off.
The fuel tank's primer hasnt worked from day one.
Had an electrical issue with the connection to the rx power. Changed the plugs and that is ok.
It's been a fun truck and I love it. It friggin rocks when its running correctly.
Had it tuned out so nicely today. I was running about 233 degrees. Sounded good from idle to wot. Transistioned so nicely and had a good healthy stream of smoke. Which with 12% oil content is good....
I was having fun ripping through our parking lot and then getting out on the highway and trailing cars. Just letting her rip and turn those tires into pizza cutters....
I've rolled/flipped it a few times and just popped off turnbuckles from the ball connectors. Its a forgiving truck so I guess I have to forgive it for the crapola it's fixing to put me through.
