Engine Gear Very Slow Movement

[RcNewbi]

:surrenderI was racing my Nitro Rc. And while i was racing it , it started to move slow while i was acclerating it so i checked to see if the Central Diff. had broken.. but it didnt and then i notice that the Engine Gear was moving very slowly.

My Problem is I acclerate the car and the Engine Gear moves very slow. I'm guessing thats my problem.Or the Clutch Shoes?

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks

Think your right with the Clutch Shoes. I'm pretty new to the Nitro R/C but sounds like a clutch

 

[RcNewbi]

yea thats what I'm thinkin also.. that it could be the Clutch Shoes

It would either be toasted clutch shoes, glazing in the clutch bell, or it might even be a clutch nut that loosened and the flywheel may be slipping on the shaft. Time for you to pull the engine from the chassis and check the clutch setup.

Shoes or your flywheel is spinning on the crankshaft.

EDIT:

CandyMan beat me... I think he has you covered though.
