ok it was runnin fine then it shut off, and wen i pull it backwards its locked up. i took the motor our and spun the spur(which does need replacin) and its not the tranny, so i think its either the cluch or the whole motor.

rite now i dont hav any money for a new motor. l8r im gonna b gettin an os 18tm.

The clutch bell should spin free on the engine shaft, if it doesn't then it's in the clutch. It could also be the OWB if you have the EZStart. Worst case you broke a conrod. Might as well check it out to see how much it's going to cost you.

alrite but how the h3ll do i get the E clip off. i tryed but not hard.

4fot i can get it runnin wen its off the ground and it almost sounds like a diein cow.

if you can't get the e-clip off to get to your clutch????sell your truck or take it to the hobby shop for repair..

megamaxx

brutal response,canuck,just try and remember at one time we were new and didnt have a clue either

RCCanuck

I am still a newbie......But the first day I ever brought home a Hobby grade RC....I took a good portion of it apart e-clips included. He admitted he tried but not very hard!!!!! wasssup with dat. Try harder[:'(]

all i tried to use was pair of needle nose. and sum1 said to use a small screwdriver which i will try. i could really work on it that wen it happen cuz it was hot.

megamaxx

yeah,you want it to cool down a little bit,a small screwdriver will do it,just watch it they tend to go flying,wel from a noobs view point the y are afraid of doing something wrong a ruining the truck,but as we all learn a broken piece is a good excuse for upgrades

well last nite i was thinkin bout it. and it sounds that the clutch is stayin engaged, thats y the tires r locked up wen pulled backwards, and y the spur cant spin freely. still correct me if im rong.
while im at the lhs im gonna get a bigger spur or smaller CB. either a 58t spur or 20t cb. not sure wat to get. and for the cb id hav to get another bearing, thats wat it say on buytraxxas.com is that rite?

bud09

ok i temporarily fixed it. it was the shoes, the spring broke but i got it bak together. im gonna get a new wen i go to my lhs and im also gettin a 58t spur for better acceleration.
