Well, it all started out yesterday. I went to my brothers house to pick up my son, so i figured no better time to get in a little bashing, so i started her up. She was running pretty badley, so after a long tuning session, I got her screaming. Then my brother told me about a new grading place up from his house, so me, my brother and son headed out. When we got there it was perfect. A little wet, but good. It had plentey of room and good jumps. So after about 6 or 7 tanks the truck shut off on me. My brother and son were on the outher side of the yard from me, so my brother gave my son(he is three)the starter to bring to me. Half way to me, he fell in the only really muddy spot there. He was ok but the starter wasn't so lucky. But, i had a pull start that I got when I bought my 2.5r so i put it on last night. I like it, but it is a lot of work. Today, I started her up and ran it for a while. It was idling way to high. That is where everything went down hill. I tried to tune it out, but had no luck. Then, when I thought I had it, a wire on the on/off switch broke, which resulted in a wot run into a parked car. It broke a screw on the front shock tower(aluminum), a shock cap and a rear rim. So, in short, in two days I have broken about $100 in parts sorry for the long post just needed to get it off my chest:(
