From looking at this thread it looks like you are busier than a 1 legged man at an ass kicking contest. Had any time to go driving for fun yet?
Nick started working at the new RC store this week. He likes it.

Keen observation Watson!! LOL

Ya you are right forsure Kurt , I still haven't stopped by the new guys shop yet , how's he doing?

motor dies when brake is applied any suggestions?

option #1 - you need to readjust your linkage , when you adjust your idle screw and nothing happens then your linkage is holding your carburetor open .

option #2 - you need to rebuild your clutch properly

those are my first guesses ;)

Thanks for the help very much appreciated.

try turning the throttle trim down on your radio , if the car dies turn up your idle until you get it right ;)

Cade is good. He is a very busy 12yr old young man with school(his lowest grade was a 97 this past 6 weeks), just finished tennis(2nd in doubles for our district in 7th garde) baseball 4 days a week and some weekends, he is the batboy for our local college team and then throw in his racing. I don't know how we do it, oh and I have a 8yr old daughter that plays softball as much as he plays baseball.

Thankfully his racing is 2nd nature for him, now the crew chief part that's a different story, lol. I hold my own.

Between my wife and I we keep everyone on schedule. Just don't ask her about our last Rc Pro race in Houston that lasted until 5:00a.m. lol.

Oh and I am building a new house to boot! What day is it again? Throw in a few hours of sleep in there somewhere and I am good to go!

Thanks for making my engine and tuning options easy for me!

Now off to batting practice and softball after that. Then start putting Cade's buggy back together. Haven't touched the truggy yet.

Monty, if you have slight movement from the crank front to back what is that a sign of? thanks

Monty Ran the plus4c with the filled crank yesterday. When you get a chance give me a call.

Nothing except maybe a worn out butt plate cover

Was there an issue or something?

ok so what would be a good sign that a rear bearing is going bad other than a gritty feeling, or front...I want to understand a little better so i can maintain my engines better. thanks bro

Excessive side to side deflection is a tell tale sign of bad bearings but usually if your engine bearing is loud and rattling at an idle you should heed the warning signs and change it out .

The factory novarossi bearings are thee best bearings period!! :nod:

Monty, have you tried out the 2084 pipe yet on your truggy?
