nooby how loose should this thing be

[karvoom]

ok mate had crashed my car and soon as i went home to check it out it dident look good

1st cylinder head had been chipped off- is that a big problem

2nd he hit a la post relay hard on the left wheel and since then it has'nt been turning well and i have adjusted it

3rd the exhorts stabiliser bar has been broken off and would like to know where to get one

4th
i think there more smoke coming out the exhaust then before and engine doesn't sound as good as it was before and i think it needs tuning- how would i do that

5th how could i find out what make it is to get parts for it

and finally i was wondering how much you could raise the car say for a rally ruff terrain nitro on road but wont scratch the plate and could do one or 2 jumps of curbs and for more clearance

oh and i had recently opened everything and put it back together all was gess work as was 1st time doing it and i cart manage to get the brake bar thing in properly- any help with that

and in the pic of pointed out the cog it Farley wobbly not too much just wondering if it should be solid

4 wheel belt drive .25? i think

thanks 1st post total nooby

Welcome to the forum!! I'll try and answer some of the questions, as best I can..

Going off the pic:
-Spur gear is ok if it's a "little" wobbly.. Looks like a "slipper" setup, and these sometimes arnt 100% true while spinning.
-Brake bar I'm not familiar with, sorry..
-Small chip in heatsink should be fine. Check screws to keep it tight and keep an eye on your engine temps..
-Exhaust coupler, looks fine to me.. It attaches the pipe to the header.
-Secure your rx with double sided tape, if there's not a "tray" or "box" on the chassis to secure it.
-More smoke from your pipe? I wouldnt be too concerned unless your performance is lacking. If so, try "leaning" your HSN an 1/8 and see how it does.. Monitor temps and performance and continue to lean the HSN until the performance goes down or the motor gets too hot, which ever comes first.. (drop of water should evaporate within 5-7 seconds off of heat sink if it's reaching proper temps.. If it "sizzles" it's too hot, and the HSN should be "richened" until proper temps are achieved.)
-Stabalizer arm.. You could try a piece of wire clothes hanger (DIY) and cut/bend into shape? Or your LHS may have one that's similar or that'll fit. Take your car with you when you go, and see what they have.. (they may have wire "stock" of proper diameter to make one, if nothing else.)
-Turning: Looks like that LF wheel is "toe'd" out more than the right wheel? Re-check your toe and camber settings and re-adjust if necessary. Once they're reset, use the "trim" dial (on your transmitter) to get the car to drive a straight line again.. Also inspect dogbones, arms, shocks, etc. for bent, broken, or binding parts and fix/adjust as needed..

Hope some of that helps ya out!

do you have the body for the car? judging by the look of the fuel tank/ engine it looks like a team associated. however, it dousnt look stock. it has aluminum wich associated dousnt use for stock parts. i dont think its a tc3 because of the belt drive. mabe its an older associated?
