I would have stripped it all, too. Of course, I wouldn't have allowed the friction in the first place.....

Did the clutch loosen and tilt into the motor? It looks like you could file it down a bit if you wanted to.

I sense sarcasm... Oh well.

Nah, I meant I'm a perfectionist with the mechanical stuff. Even little things like that would bug the hell out of me.

Oh god and I thought I might have a chance in the crawler category!

Sick... as always.

I believe WD40 does the trick...

Simple Green is what the local guys have been using. I hear that WD40 works too, but Simple Green lasts longer. I don't use either because I'm insufficiently motivated.

Did you wipe the motor clean? Looks awesome!

I bet he used oven cleaner, cause I see bubbles in that pan. I hope you had ventilation!

Crawler looks fantastic Shawn (as do all your builds). I am really wanting to build a crawler now. A couple people posted new pictures on here (you, arct1k, etc) and its really bugging me to build one.
