The car looks great with that newly painted body. Good job!!

Thanks homz! I debated selling it because i have the runner but its just too nice to get rid of now, surely it will hold its value if i dont run it

Amazing job. Really impressive work.

I find the fix completely unacceptable until you install a period-correct EVEREADY battery with the cat jumping thru the 9...

Will this work? Its not as classic as the 9v out of your moms golf award

Classic! Matches too! And it's super heavy duty, so you have that goin' for ya...

May I ask where you ordered this part from?

1st off the spelling issues are my screen saver, yes i should have proof read it. I got the part off ebay when i was doing my Nitro Brute restoration. Thats the engine the piston/sleeve went into. I think i got lucky....came in after working on the Brute, started drinking/searching ebay, and it just happened to be available. I even had already ordered a repinch from RayARacing and had to eat the shipping, but didnt need it after scoring that piston and sleeve.

Right, thanks.

Factory flywheel protector Had to make one for the basket case cause didnt come with one, not exactly factory lookn but it will do

Opted for a red flywheel i had layin around, figured it matched the shocks and looked pretty rad. Its aluminum vs steel on the stocker, should yield quicker spool up too, not that its a good thing on these cars

That looks great matched up with the other red components/shocks.

Update on flywheel I had to remove it, it just didnt have the intertia the factory one had, which is 3x heavier. Idle just wasnt as consistent. A little bummed cause it looked cool. On a positive note, i got a new 75cc tank in for $8 shipped. Its modern style lid. I almost gave up getn it to fit cause its so much bigger than the stocker, which i dont have for the basket case car. After some mods i got it to fit perfect and it even looks factory. Pretty stoked cause that modded nitro brute tank leaked all over the place i was using

What would that fuel tank be from Derek, and what % fuel are you using?

This is the tank from ebay: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192590198015
