What a mixture. My 13 year old and I have been stripping down his old Exceed RC that we TOTALLY neglected for a year as a learning experience. He will be buying a new one in May for his Birthday with a little help from us and this time I want to be prepared to take care of it.
Someone mentioned on here that I should get the old one running so we could run together.Got me thinking.
So my son and I (and wife) went to the LHS to see if I could get parts to make the old one work.My wife stayed in my truck with a parting warning...Don't spend a lot of money!!
Like 2 kids in a candy shop. I ended up buying a new O.S engine.Max-18CV-R series.Also a new clutch and a few other things.$142.00 later I knew I was in trouble.
My son also picked out his truck he wants.The Revo 3.3. That sucker costs almost $500.00!!! I told him to sell all his belongings on Ebay or get a job.
I didn't dare get the things I was there for: Nitro cleaner,in-line fuel filter, plugs and air filter oil. Next time (without the wife)
She cooled down when she saw my son and I working on installing the motor and new clutch. Quality time. Gotta love it.
