yes its me again...
i've finally started my car. I didnt give up and carried on trying, throttle trim all the way up, a fully charged glow starter and a lot of pulls on the pullstart really happy with it, very fast,
but...
the engine has broken...
I have a Force .32 engine in a rex x. I personally think that the engine is too powerful for the main gear as its shredding it to pieces. as a result i have a main gear with worn down teeth and the cog on the end of the crankshaft broken. The small cog has worked its way loose and has come off. But i dont know what holds it on?? does anyone know??
Also on the end of the crankshaft there are 3 black levers on springs with, what looks to me, like they fly out under central fugal force. is this true? Is the cog on the end of the crankshaft supposed to spin freely when the engines off. but when the lever things and this cog meet under central fugal force are they both supposed to spin round together? I hope i havent made it sound too confusing :\
if this is broken, is it able to be fixed??
anyone have a solution?:\
should i not use this engine, but get a force .25 that is supposed to be in the buggy?
