Oh man, I can smell it just by watching your video😅-especially when you disassembled the engine🙏🏻 my teenage memories came back! I couldnt count how often i destroyed the pullstarter string and replaced it with a shoelace of my fathers shoes😂👌🏻once i‘ve replaced the connectingrod in the engine, bc it was cracked on the bearingside. My plastic brakedisc also broke down, so i builded a new one from a piece of sheetmetal- i was young and had no money for such a hobby like this, but i was very skilled and interested in mechanic work for my age. Later i became a car-technican😊
I was 14 years old when i bought mine after saving hard my pocket money and mowed instantly our lawn to get some extra coin. Now I‘m 32 years old. Last week i digged it out of a shelf in the garage and decided to bring it back to life! I ordered some stuff on amazon like a new controller, a nitro starter kit and some fuel. Cant wait to start my pure ten alpha 2 again. Btw: nice work mate😊

I got mine out during lockdown early '21, and it started up first time after about 15yrs of living in a bag and moving around from house to house with me 😅
