Why you should inspect.

[Clintd]

This is the main reason you should disassemble and inspect your RC after every good bash session.

Notice anything?

How about now?

If I was to continue running like this I would end up damaging the spur gear, clutch bell, bearings, or the engine could break off and scream at WOT with no load. How long would that engine last?

I remember reading something about that white ring you have on your clutchbell.. You might want to look into what is causing that..

 

[Clintd]

I did that with a dremal. It used to get caught on the brake disk so I rounded it off a little

I didn't notice the crack at first... I just noticed all the wet around the carb. I thought we were looking for a loose fitting carb.

I thought that there was something wrong with your head since it isn't purple.:LoL:


I actually had the same thought that Olds did.

I didn't notice the crack until I sprayed it down with DA. I took the pics before it had a chance to dry.

That happened to me. Engine mount broke and stripped the spur gear and it sat at WOT. Luckily I was only about 10 feet away and quickly shut her down. Then Jon2 went out of his way and sent me a free TRX2.5 engine mount. Thanks Jon!
