Hey
My Nitro car wont even roll on the ground
I had it out and it was going great.... brought it in put piston at BDC and left it for a while

Once it had cooled i went to drive it again and put it on the ground and it wont even roll..... i pulled the drive train out for the back diff and the wheels spin fine...
so i took out the gearbox and it spinns fine aswell
put it all back together and I'm back to squar 1?

what do i do now couse I'm completely lost :(
 
Clutch is frozen. With the motor out of the car you will be able to spin the clutch bell/housing. If not, time for a new clutch. Just my first thought since I don't know what vehicle you have. Df.
 
sorry about late reply
yea i fixed it Friday after work... still dont know what exactly was wrong with it but i pulled apart the rear diff and cleaned it all and re greased it and put it back together and its working fine

there was like MINIMUM dirt in there and no rocks so i have no idea what was jamming it up but its working now and thats all that matters

AS FOR YOUR ADVICE
i thought the same thing and it was the 1st thing when i went to fix it but the cluth was fine aswell lol well oviously if its working now and i didnt have to touch it but thankyou alot

My car wont change gears though... it never has OR i can't notice it :S
i dont really know what i am looking for but yea it seems to be staying in the same gear from what i can work out.
I tried loosening the spring on the clutch but it dont seem to make a diffrence....
Any advice would be helpful
