What's up!! :fro:

Well I've been thinking and dang I miss running r/c's. So this week I am going to try to pry off this engine, (The screws are so tight on there and are stripped, I think my friend used red loctite.) Make sure it has no glow plug elements inside and Hopefully get it running. What happened is, I put it on the starter box, Then I Have a glow plug ignitor that plugs into my starter box power panel. So I connected the ignitor to the glow plug, Well then i hear a pop and my glow plug is totally shot. Brand new O'Donnell 1/8 plugs. This happened a couple of times. I didnt know what was wrong, So after I wasted 2 of my good plugs, and one McCoy MC59. I started to wonder why it was doing this, It definately is a voltage related cause. But I've started my car like this before. So i then tried my rechargeable ignitor, Then my engine now doesn't turn over... This was back in early march that I tried this. So I gave up on my r/c's for a long time, Now I am determined to find out what is the problem with this thing.

I Can't wait to get it running, Its been since the last bash (September 27-28, 04) That i've ran one... haha. To long!

Wish me luck, As I go and try to get this bad boy running.

[Skyline Racer]

That's what i was planning on doing. See, Today I was determined to try and take off the top screws, Well it just so happens one of those are stripped also.

Hey Bro,when you are done doing the dremelling, heat up the screw so it will help to take it out better. Stripped screws suck so do this to get that lil bastard out!!!
