Maybe on the next project make a list and figure out the order you wanna do it in and stick to it, anyways sorry im rambling ive been up for about 30 hours good luck.


id like to add ,after reading youre post again i see you didnt get much help from the guys here on the forum on what to check to get it running, let me suggest that next time when you have motor problems you start a new post that states the problem in the title so the gurus(certainly not me) see the title and are more likely to read youre post and offer you help. the fake snake thing just probably came across as another build thread. it didnt indicate you were having issues. hope this helps you in the future, again good luck.....ken
