First and formost, thank you all again for everyones ideas and help! I think i narrowed this problem down to an engine problem, not a clutch problem. So i took my 30cc engine all the way out and cleaned it. It has a good amount of dirt on the carb from the gas/oil mixture leaking on it, but i think it is normal leakage because it looked old and im almost positive its been like that for a while, while the truck was in good working order. I also seen that the airfilter had some gas/oil mixture on it that was comming threw the carb, this looks like a new thing since it had made its way threw the two filters and apeared wet in about a dime size area on the outside of the filter that i don't remember seeing befor. The inside of the filter was wet in about the size of a half dollar. Is this normal??? The other thing i noticed was the tune pipe had been smashed about a quarter of the way down in the mid section witch is about a half dollar size. I think this happened in the crash that ultimatly caused my truck to run like crap. To re cap the crash... I jumped it, landed crooked, and it cartweeled and rolled violently. When i fliped it back over, the engine reved but the truck didnt move. Thats when i took the center diff off, didnt see anything wrong, put it back on and the truck would only run at half speed, even going down hill the engine would only get half r.p.m.'s and the clutch bell was red hot after only 2 or 3 min of running. After that first test run i noticed the tune pipe was out of the holding bracket at the end of the pipe, this is why i think the damage on the pipe happened in the crash. Also the gasket that is in the middle of the tune pipe is shot, i think it has been this way for a while but not sure. The truck is pretty new, only about 10 tanks or so ran threw it. When i blew threw the damaged pipe, it didnt apear to have any resistance. Could this be my problem??? Or the gasket, or combination of both??? Also the 2 bolts ataching the pipe to the engine were really hard to get off, one a little more than the other. So much that i unscrewed them only half way scared that i wouldnt be able to get back on if i took them out all the way, is this normal??? The gasket between the pipe and engine apeared to be good and so did the seal once i tighted the bolts back on. Thank you to everyone and all of the help i have got, i think im very close to getting to the bottom of this now, and i cant wait to get this truck running again!!!
 
No fuel/oil should be on the carb unless you spilled it there or a fuel line is leaking. If you have 10 tanks through the engine, that would say to me that it is time for a rebuild/replacement with that engine. From what I saw of the Exceed Hannibal, the 30cc fuelie is a 2 bolt engine that is prone to cylinder gasket leaks. How in the world did you crush the pipe when it is buried in there? From what I've learned with my CY engine, My next engine will definitely be a Zenoah! I was able to put a Zenoah head onto my CY engine block but I don't know if that works with a fuelie? If you like the power and performance that the stock engine had, I'd suggest a complete tear down and rebuild if the problem is the engine and at 10 tanks, it would most likely be. Unfortunately, it seems that you may have multiple issues and aside just replacing everything, it may be a fix one thing, try it, fix something else, try it type thing. Gasoline fuel line is a cheap repair and basically a piece of mind thing. Replace the carb throttle lever for piece of mind also and that part is just $4.00. I now like my stock foam air filter as the "performance" filter I bought destroyed my head! Just clean the filter out with your fuel and dry it out or blow it dry. Get some air filter oil for it. Just check everything over closely and repair/replace what is needed. Here is what I found on my inspection!

you have gave me the push i needed to crack open my engine, THANK YOU! I HAVE BEEN VERY NERVIOUS ABOUT DOING IT BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER DONE A REPAIR LIKE THIS AND THIS IS ALSO MY FIRST RC AND I LOVE IT. ANYWAY, MINE DIDNT LOOK LIKE YOUR PICTURE, BUT IT DID APEAR TO HAVE SOME WEAR. ALSO THE TOP OF THE PISTON WAS BLACK EXCEPT FOR A FEW SPOTS WHERE THE RESIDEW HAD CAME OFF AND THE PISTON WAS VERY SHINEY AND NEW LOOKING IN THOES AREAS. IM THINKING THAT RESIDEW HAD CAME OFF IN THE CRASH AND MADE ITS WAY BETWEEN THE CYLNDER AND PISTON CAUSING A SLIGHT LOSS OF COMPRESSION....I WILL TAKE SOME PICTURES AND TRY TO PUT A FEW ON HERE TONIGHT SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
