clutch or idle

[miketrav69]

Hey guys,
Ok i have a problem with my buggy. When the buggy is at idle the wheels spin even at low idle. The car wants to take off yet the idle is as low as it can go. I think the clutch may be staying engaged. Any ideas? The buggy is is exceed forza 2 speed. I think this mess started when i adusted the screws on this 3 plate thing hooked up to the tranny. The thing was stuck in secound gear so i messed with it. Now no matter what I do it seems the clutch is always engaged.

thanks

I think you answerd your own question. start with getting the clutch fixed. my quess would be one of the bearings in the clutch is locked up.:\

I agree, sounds like the clutch springs may have gone bad and are keeping engaged on the clutch bell.

i dont think this will help but i think u should check your throttle trim=p

the idle is as low as it can go.

: I think he covered that

i think you can adjust the idle on the car i mean on the transmitter you could adjust how much the throttle is on=) or open by adjusting it

First thing I would do is slightly richen your LSN. A lean LSN will create a high idle even though the idle setting may be correct.

thanks guys.

Ok, so that 3 plate thing with the 2 allen screws. Is that the slipper clutch? Is that where my problem is? Anyone know of a detail;ed nitro repair guide with pics
