Potential tranny problem
Hey guys, I think I might have a moderate to serious problem. Yesterday I went to my cousins to run my Revo around. The grass was a little slick but hardly at all as we got there(8:00). I run about a half tank give or take and it gets more wet from the dew. I run around the gravel driveway and do like 2 donuts and run it in the grass some more. Now the grass it pretty slick amd I run it about 8 inches into tall(1.5 foot) weeds. I get it out and I can tell something isnt right. We run it in the wet grass for about a minute and there is a lot of revving but not a lot of motion. Then I grab it and I decided it was not right. I go back to the truck and take out most of the fuel and run it in the dry dirt/gravel driveway to run it out. It has good grip and everything but still revs high but dosent go to its full power. I pack it up and take it home. Today I take it home and do a litte quarter tank run around the yard, seems like the same problem but not as bad. Heres where I notice problems. The spur gear is fine but it is twitching when stopped. I adjust my slipper and it goes to loose and spins like it should but dosent have the right spinning power. I tighten it to where it seemed normal before yesterday ( same wheelies and power) but it still twitches. The motor is new with about 2.3 quarts threw it. I need to know known problems and how to fix this. I also need to know how much it could cost, I just spent 90 dollars at tower hobbies and i have olny had the truck for 2 weeks. I am going to run it tommarow and see if I can adjust it or fix it.

RE: Potential tranny problem
I am not thinking its that, the spur twitches when the truck is stopped. The truck still has all the power and does wheelies in grass, but the spur twitches when im stopped. I got the day off from school and im painting a house, when im on break ill be trying to fix it if iI can, otherwise ill look into clutch shoes when something else breaks on it.
