I wrecked mine spectacularly just there before christmas.
Me and my mates had been out with another mates R/C car earlier that day and after we broke that we decided we'd go look at mine.
The clutch was gone on it so it just idled and didn't move at all.
I decided to just start it up to see if the clutch had magically fixed itself but it hadn't so I decided to just let the fuel waste idling.
So after about 5-10 mins idling the revs go right up to the top and I could do nothing to stop it.
It was just sitting there revving itself to death.
My friend went over to try put his foot over the exhaust but it had spun around and was pointing in a different direction( the fuel tank
).
Then,the manifold decides to just literally snap in half and fall on the ground.
We still couldn't see this because it was dark.
Then blue and orange flames started shooting out from where the manifold was.
2 of my friends decided to run away and hide behind a wall at this point.
Then a guy comes out of his house (remember this is 8-9pm) and shouts "turn that ****ing yoke off".
We reply with "do you want to try?"
Anyway and about 2-3 mins of shooting flames it just stops running with about 1/4 of a tank still left in it.
We knew it was wrecked so we took it apart in my back garden.
Everything was seized together and the screws were really hard to get out and the piston was stuck to the cylinder thing.
Never knew these yokes could shoot flames,it was cool.
Still have all the radio gear which will do for another project!
I'll take pics of the pile of engine later,it's still there...
