This is a story about proficiency in car maintenance...

A guy, a very enthusist one, was just cleaning and servicing his car between heats, rebulding most of the car. When he had finished just put a fresh batery and go running again.

Well, his car had very poor performance, no acceleration, no top speed... that was little extrange. After a few minutes he entered the boxes to verify everything.

Well, he wasn't able to find was wrong, bearings were superb, as ball diffs, motor, connections... everything, so he just figured out that batery didn't charge properly. He taked a new one and hit the track again.

This time, performance was even worse, nobody could understand why.

Desesperated this guy taked his car and started to put everything apart, he taked it to pieces completelly. Finally he found the reason for his poor performance. Are you seated?

He just forgot an allen wrench in the chassis first time he rebuild the car, this wrench produced a short-circuit when the battery was placed in the car. The wrench got so hot that it melted the molded chassis, so you can see the wrench semi-covered by melted plastic
