RC Driving Style
I'm somewhat new to rc cars i have a associated gt with a .15 stock motor. it's really being a pain in the butt to start wont run for more than a few min.can anyone help me with a web site where i can find like a rebuild kit.should i just do the piston/sleeve.
 
What makes you think you need to rebuild it? what are the overall symptoms while you are trying to run it?

Welcome, BTW!!!!

Click to expand...

if you do the P/S then do the conrod too...don't do a half rebuild.....but like Revo mentioned, what makes you think it needs rebuilding??
when you turn the flywheel by hand do you still get a compression "burp" at the top of th stroke??? or did you take the sleeve out and see th piston go too high in the sleeve???
engines not running right could be as simple as tuning....
 
the motor i dont think was brokin right its only had about one gallon of gas in it. it has next to no compresion it takes for ever to start and will run for a little then it get's warmed up and just dies and will not start for 30 min or so.think it could be tunning?when your trying to pull start it it fells like the oneway bearing is sliping but the oneway is new.
 
yep sounds like you need a pinch.....rayracing or os rocket are the preffered guys to do it...I like ray.....
