Some sort of punctuation would make this much easier to read....
But to address some of your points/concerns...
- you will never get an RC you can just throw a battery in and drive forever.
- daily maintenance is just part of the game, you'll almost always be tightening something or replacing something..
- couldn't really tell, but did you say you over temped the motor? If so then your problem all along could have been it was over geared (as suggested earlier in the post).
- take your time and go through the truck and tighten up all the loose screws, nuts, etc... If it screws into aluminum, try adding a bit of loctite to the screw before reinstalling them.
- finally, take a deep breath, step back and count to 10, then take another look at the truck. Remember, you bought a RTR truck. This thing was put together by people earning less then minimum wage. There are going to be some hiccups along the way until you get all the bugs worked out of it.
