you should send the engine back and get an engine from another seller. make sure that you get the on with the pull start. if he leaves negative feedback, just say he can take pics and he cant write descriptions.

you can just ask for a refund and he will send the money back into your account.

ok. ill send some action pics and stuff when the truck is broken in. it will take me about 2 hours to break it in, maybe less. when i break in a engine, i break it in as soon as possible so i can start driving the truck as soon as possible. i get the tires and everything on friday and then the engine next week. since the shipping is like 11 dollars i think it may be like prority instead of like ground.i should take some photos of like my truck destroying my friends buggy in a race or something. i may be able to, his buggy hits top end at like 46 or 47. and with the new tires for an on road race, i may be unbeatable. i bet my tc3 would cream my mt tough cause its so small and is so damn fast, compared to the savage atleast. its got some high traction tires on it and im thinkin of a 2-speed for it soon, possibly an RB enging also if i was to find a local race track around here for on-roads. ive only seen off-road tracks and they are like 30 min away. since the track is by the ROAR rules do you think that they would let me and my friend to just go there and drive our cars around on it? i dont want to race but i just want to try out a track. with that new engine i think its against ROAR rules.

yea i think that since the sirio .27 is such a monster it does not meet roar specs. i have NO tracks in my area so i dont know if you can drive your car on the track. you probably could on like a sunday afternoon for like 30 bucks.

i ride in my neighbors backyard only to turn around after a jump and i dont tear up their yard and i go pretty fast in it. its probably that they have that special type of thick grass thats a pain in the neck to cut with a lawn mower. i dont really smell the truck when its driving around. only when im next to it and its sitting in one place idling.

lol. my neighborhood is like the type with all the restrictions but if the community yells at me for running the truck they cant stop me because it has nothing to do with the motor vehicle laws. all i could get is property damage if i drove it in yards and messed them up. i live in the more rich part of knoxville that you have to pretty much get a permit to pee. lol.
