Replacement motors
#17
nevermind, I cleaned out the carb and this thing rips. i still have minor tweeking to do but its so fast with the 22t CB and 72t spur its hard to handle. Stupid me, I had a loose connection on my battery hook-up and lost it not once but three times on a runaway. The first time I knew what the prob was but I just jammed the wire back in there to help cool the motor off after getting jammed under a bush (260f) and it did it again ................. if thats not bad enough I did it again .................................................................................................................................................. IDIOT does not even come close to how I feel. Luck nothing broke or damaged even though it hit a bush at WOT and stayed that way for 10 seconds until I got it and the third time went straight for a pole and missed ........... but flipped and stuck under a car at 3/4b throttle and burned my arm on the tire by pinching the fuel off at the carb.
SO far an exiting first day with the .21 ;-)
I have a failsafe but the power was cut by the loose wire.
