Clutches? HELP? WHAT WRONG?
can any one tell me if there is a clutch adjustment on the street force gt? 
or what happens when one does waer out if they do? 
My Problem is, when i pull the starter cord, the tires try to turn as well, I was told i had it flooded, to remove the glow plug empty the tank, and turn upside down and pull starter cord to empty it out, OK i did that but still does same thing, Can the clutches be worn out, I am new to nitro and just got the car, day one 
"should have known better, My street is sorta narrow when there is snow, anywhay make long story short" was doing a donut with car and the battry flew one way the car took off another way, hit a snow inbankment and stalled. Lesson #1 make sure battery is secure.....lol... The only damage was a steering nuckle that i can see i did fix that, found empty parking lot to run 
but now this problem. could melted snow damage the clutches causeing them to not release?
if so how hard are they to change? I have a v15 engine 2 speed trans and clueless........lol Thanks for any info.

Sounds like you might have melted your clutch shoes to the cluch bell housing... I would disassemble and take a gander in there...

If your shoes aren't mealted, you could have dislodged one of the "feet" or burnt a bearing, or just threw something out of wack...
If you don't feel comfortable, take it to your LHS, they should be able to take a look at it and know what the issue is in a few seconds..
If it is the clutch shoes... < 10$ replacement...
