yea i don't give up at all man... its just very affordable for me to race the motor and replace it.. however i have not raced my car in a while it has not been 100 percent and the risk of messing other things up are always there.

my full build will give me a since or security, but then again anything can blow. Its all about the tune.. last night was just a freak accident.

when i picked the motor up at that point felt like about 300 something lbs
