      Your all beter off than me! I drowned my nitro 1/10 in a 20 cm deep puddle…..no damage.

      Then 2 days ago the clutch shaft came loose and wobbled around…..then got jammed hard against the spur gear….while the engine was screaming at max RPM……….

      The Conrod was bent and snapped, the piston had a chunk taken out of it, and the big end bearing cage broke causing the balls to do whatever they wanted.

      The bill comes to around 50-60 aussie dollars, yet finding a spare 10x19x5mm bearing has been tough….maybe a new engine???

      I’d love to take my car to the beach one day….sounds like fun!
