Two Wrongs

Apparently two wrongs DO make a right.

However, that's only one right. One right fixes one wrong. What about the other wrong? What fixes that? Of course I'm talking about RC cars. They were both broken. Now one is fixed

But not the one I wanted to fix. I fixed my main car, but of course you know what happened because of my last post. But then, I decided to take apart the car and look for any more half-inch pieces of plastic that might have decided or will decide to break before I place an order so i can order them all at once. Turns out, the chassis itself is snapped in places, so I don't really want to spend $18 right now plus tax to get a new deck, reassemble the car, and have something else break.

SOOOOOOOOO... I took everything apart and put the screws in a container and the big parts in a box, like I was organized, and decided to disassemble the radio and electronics, too and then I said, "hey, why not take the servos, receiver, and switches out of here and put them in the other car, which only needs electronics to work?" So I did, making three trips through the house, each time aggravating the cleaning lady who happened to be cleaning my room.

All in all, the electronics worked and I got the RS4 working, end of story, right?
WRONG. I was pulling the starter and the head somehow popped off the primer, and that of course makes it pretty darn hard to prime the engine, so I had to do it manually, which involved getting a cut on my finger and getting fuel in it. YAY! but really. The car ran beautifully and all was well until I turned it off and tried to start it again, but it's grumpy like that so I decided not to push it and gave up.

But pretty much two broken cars led to one working one. Sadly, the one non-working one was my favorite, but all good things must end.

Now I guess I have another summer project to do.
