Hpi bullet part 2.

So yesterday finally managed to start on it. Got the engine off and the starter shaft was not engaging properly with the rest of the engine so I removed the back plate and took out the starter shaft and realised it hadn't been put back together properly! So I removed assembled correctly and lo and behold problem solved! Cleaned the engine ready to test so will test tomorrow. However pretty confident it  will work as it should as there was nothing too badly worn piston working correctly bearing OK which is good as they usually go first!
Bought a beaten up HPI bullet Here we have a challenge but a good challenge. Having paid a very cheap price for the hpi bullet! There will be a delay between posts as I await parts to arrive. So as you can see from the pic it is defo a little battered n bruised! But as we all know with this hobby with time and patience we can rebuild cars from the chassis up. The engine is present but we are unsure whether it is salvegable so I guess we will find out soon enough! The front shocks are present however we will be upgrading these to alloy ones. We will start with a full teardown later and post tomorrow on what's salvegable and what isn't.
