check your clutch assembly

jfarside69

ok let me check that out thanks

rcdudegermy10

if that's not it make sure your linkage is all set up properly, and your gear mesh

jfarside69

ok i took my engin out took apart the clutch i found that the screw that goes into the engin was lose causeing the fly wheel (i think ) to be lose so before i put it all back together again i need another question awnsered the slipper clutch is really tight around the nut thingy ( i really wish i had a parts list so i could put a name to these parts) any way i was just wondering if it was suppose to be really tight

jfarside69

hey thats a nice looking t-maxx where did you get those white arms ( i have those same tires )

Jareth

The nut holding the spur and slipper was tight? It should be releatively tight.

cool i think i got everything working good about to go try it out thanks for the hook up

rcdudegermy10

yea, no problem, and if you're asking about the arsm on my T-Maxx, they are the RPM white dyeable ones (come w/ a lifetime warranty too)

jfarside69

cool i have the blue rpm's i have often thought about painting them just chasnging the color theme of my t-maxx maybe one day you will see it on here i just joined this form today never belong to one before

jfarside69

ok well hopefully your still there got everythiong back together and took it outside for a test run it stripped the big gear up (the one before it goes into the transmittion ) i am getting so pissed off every time i drive it it becomes something else any way its the big plastic gear right before it goes to the tranny do they make a metal one

Jareth

Yes, they make steel spur gears. You risk stripping everything in your transmission by using one though. Better to strip the spur than destroy your transmission. I do know people who have used them without incident though. I just rather not take the risk, myself.

jfarside69

why would it just stip out like that thopugh i mean completly stripped out

cvikes80

you probably had the mesh between the motors clutchbell and the spur too tight or too loose. use a piece of paper between the gears for proper mesh and when your done everything should spin freely

jfarside69

ahh ok cool thanks for the tip know i know and i geuss knowing is half the battle lol

cvikes80

Indeed it is lol, Spur gears are cheap I keep a couple extra with me all the time.

i would say about 60 percent of ppl have 1 or 2 extra spur gears in their toolboxes. i don't use the paper trick but i just make sure i can spin the spur gear and it spins really nice and free. and if your clutch is set to tight you will strip them out so i got my clutch set loose.

jfarside69

one thing that really has been killing me about my truck is when you got it up and running and you pull on the trigger all the way it will stall or try to stall what do you guys think just a mix problem

weez440

possibly got it to rich or else glow plug or else carb is full of dirt.
