If my google search for info on the truck is correct then that truck is designed for the 2 brushed motors run off the single esc. it may be fairly easy to find the parts to make it stock and probably fairly cheap. that esc is designed to run 1 540 size motor so even though it may make the truck move its not quite suited to the extra weight and turning the big tires. the esc and motors that go with it are more suited to the on road cars and lighter offroad machines such as buggies, truggies and stadium trucks etc. if you want it to be fast i would look around the forums and see what it will take to convert to an 1/8th scale brushless motor. this one specifically mmp esc/motor. i believe it is the same system that powers the mmp emaxx's. combine that with 2 3s lipo's in series and you will have one badass machine that can easily hit 45-60+. being that the emaxx chassis has those as an option i dont think it would be too difficult to find the parts to convert it. I would also send castle an email and see if they can either fix the current esc so you can sell it (i believe its $75 to have it replaced) or see if they will allow you to upgrade it to the bigger one at a price reduced from the retail price. i know a few guys that have sent their esc's back to castle for repairs and have gotten really good deals on new ones and they have great customer service.

i pretty much stay in the general section. however the few times i have posted in the help sections or others i have gotten the help i need.

welcome to the internet. every forum has its share of guys that will fuck with you and a lot of the times people on the forum get to know other people on the forum and give them shit out of fun. other times its stuff that has been covered already and can be searched.

I did some online black ops on 360 with someone that "PWNS" (inverted controls and shit)on the ps3. needless to say he got his ass kicked on live. i doubt it can be attributed to the controller. i used to turn the xbox off at 11pm EST because there was no point in playing because everyone was so good.

the screw was from the case and broke the gear on the basket. when i get the time ill investigate further and post back up here, ill have to find a place for some higher octane around me im not sure what i can get around here probably 110 but im not sure.

so ,maybe i just have the clutch adjusted too much and its slipping the whole time or something? ill tear it all back apart and try it again i suppose since we had figured that all that gear did had to do with the kickstart. its a stock basked as far as i know. as far as mods i was told its .040 over but im doubting that and i put a coolhead with 19cc domes, i run 93 with klotz and it only seems to blow the left plug out and i had recently changed them which is why ive been thinking it was loose. my neighbor has told me that 2strokes love high octane but i havent been able to get any yet. i figured if it wasnt enough octane it would ping like a friends 400ex did on 87. It runs awesome though.

buy a new one and keep it lubed and see if it still breaks. mine broke last year and a buddy told me that on a bike that pulls like a shee you need to keep it well lubed.

alright. I was up in northern michigan ridin the trails this weekend, first real ride with the shee of the year and since my upgrades. rode it fine for a few hours, pulled nice too. spit out a spark plug on one of the trails (must not have tightened it enough) put it back in and got back to the cabin with no problems other than shootin the plug out again when i got there. I have been riding with the chain loose for a while so we take a link out and my buddy moves the kickstart and it doesnt pop back up. we figure its just something wrong with the arm and pullstart the banshee behind his quad. starts right up and get it back to the cabin and right as i get back i hear a pop and it stops running. tear the thing apart and find metal chunks in the side case. from what we could tell a screw behind the clutch basket backed itself out and shattered the gear on the back of the basket? we thought all this gear did was turn it over from the kickstart so we tossed it back together and tried pullstarting it again but nothing happens. the main question i have is does this gear need to be there to run and thats the problem or is it just has to do with the kickstart and something else broke internally? what are some things i should try and will i need to split the case and check things out? basically, should i be looking into new gears/case? I really want to get this thing fixed to get back out there.

I would say that if its blowing it like its pressurized then you prolly have something you want to look at.

basically i want to replace all the electronics on my shee. coil, cdi, everything other than maybe the stator. basically i dont know where to start looking or what brands to look at. are these things i can get from a site sponsor or would oem or others from ebay be a better bet? i did not notice anything other than a programmable ignition on rockymountain.

nah, fuck that. i am entertaining the idea of picking up a 450 of some sort. and keep this shee.

the tires hook on the street and lift the front. Im not a complete newb to riding but im not comfortable doing that yet. Im definitely glad i picked this quad up and did the certain mods i have to it.

I think its a combination of being faster than im used to (after learning on my ex's 400ex ) and the small area i have to ride in and how fast i go in that area before having to brake.

this thing absolutely scares the shit out of me sometimes lol. anyone else have this issue? I think i peed my pants a little riding today, and mine isnt even highly modified.

this is some very good additional information. i have been taking a class on this stuff. and for the OP i recommend turning on the histogram on the camera to see if your pics are getting a correct exposure or are under or overexposed. its become very helpful to me in my shooting. that is if you dont already have the histogram on.
