So I installed the gears correctly again and let the thread locker cure for little bit. I said to myself let me take it out and run it and see what it feels like. Car ran absolutely like a beast for the first 30 second then it went out of control full 100% throttle with the steering cranked to the right. It was doing donuts on the grass for a good 3-4min none stop at full throttle. I was extremely scared and I really didn't know what to do. The car was spinning so fast that you couldn't even barley see it. So I grew some balls after 4min or so and kicked the feker and the car started to run away and eventually hit the wooden fence and broke that poop getting stock and I quickly pulled the spark plug wire to shut it down. I was also wearing flip flops and got a nice cut by kicking it.
I pulled the car back and used a temp gun and the head was at 640F!
The hell with the motor and the car I am just glad it didn't hit anyone.
Turned out the problem was the battery wire came off the reciever. Car is absolutely perfect not damage to chassis or any other parts.
Exhaust turned different color because it got hot.
Piston was welded inside had to hammer the feker out
Bent connecting rod
Pins got chewed up

So you ran it after your kill switch died ?

He might actually be serious this time..been a curse for him lately
Just rebuild the motor you already experienced the worst of what could have happened. The thing is when your coming of a fresh build it usually takes 3 to 4 runs before you find all the things that might come loose.
it would be stupid to sell that, just rebuild it and don't run without a kill switch EVER

Even if I decide to keep it I don't want this motor. I am sure you can rebuild it but I rather start fresh with a 71cc.
msg rcmax mayyyybeee he will fix it for u... just don't include that you were running no ks

I was gonna say rebuild it too, but I'm feeling his pain right now. I get it.
you put way too much time, effort and $ into that to sell it

I'd go 50gt bro, it'd be much easier on this but still a handful
