D's HPI twin build

[DougStar]

Thankfully my other cars are good to go??
But this problem with this twin is gone on for so long that I think I'm done with it?
I'm gonna phone Sean on monday and I want nothing short of pulling a bunny from a hat ?‍??

Did I guess right?

 

[DougStar]

No you did not guess right ? as far as I know? as I took off the flywheel I noticed there was no key on the crank Obr sent me??‍ so timing could and will go out? so iv just stopped right there ?

Just realized it has one piece rods and the crank needs pressed apart and back together to swap rods?

Did I guess right?

 

[Seandonato73]

Tapered crank?

 

[DougStar]

Here are some images of the keyless crank??‍? cant believe it

[Seandonato73]

Wonder how they overlooked something like that.... tbh it's an easy fix for a machine shop but wtf?

 

[DougStar]

Its just not right? $1900 for this ?

 

[Seandonato73]

Ill trade you a slightly used MTXL for it if you decide you cant stand looking at it anymore

 

[Seandonato73]

[DougStar]
