so far this is what i have:
front servo is hot glued on(the plastic all broke)
slipper clutch is not a slipper clutch anymore, its drilled together,
my starter motor is from a cheaply radio shack car,
my one way nut on the engine is broken so it slips both ways,
the engine blocks casting it broken so jb weld holds the starter to it, and i just push it sideways to get the one way nut to turn the engine over(its hard to explain but some of you might get it)
my engine mounts are stripped so i used red loctite and jb weld to hold the block to the frame,
the front struts are broken so i used coat hanger wire, and hot glue instead,

but all in all the darn car still works! half the fun is fixing it!

obviously if you race competitively then you do it the right way but for me, i just enjoy driving it at the park, its a traxxas stampede, with a 0.15 on it,

so is anyone out there like me? please do tell!!
