First outing!

[voo2doo]

I took the Leopard out today for the first time for its maiden voyage.After wiring the radio and servos with Jackobyte I went out(Jacko had to pick the kids up) It fired third time and was bogging off the line so a tweak here and a tweak there and it was back on track. Oh,I forgot to do the brakes so it was gently does it mode.Anyway,there was little or no oil in the shocks and half way through the run the tyres hooked up,the car went flipping through the air and the air filter cover came off.I didnt realise this till another 10 minutes later! Hmmm,10 minutes of poop through the engine!:nono::nono::nono:
Well,I'm going to refill the shocks tonight and put a standard FG filter on it and should have pics for Saturday to post.

Where you in sand? Remember if you where the bottom end holds dirt and will continue to do damage. May need to flush it out to make sure?
Good luck, hopefully nothing got in.

Sorry, I just realized i wrote "I hope" instead of "I hope not"...

Is there anything you can do to keep it from happening again?
