RC Driving Style
I have a RS4 EVo w/ OS CVRX. I start the engine and u can hear it with the throttle opening, high revs. But the car moves slowly, to a crawling speed. What is wrong? Is it the idle speed needle? :OMG:
 
I know it isnt your idle needle cause that adjust how how your idle is.
IT could be your motor settings, If you havn't turned your car look at the instruction that came with the motor
IF you have tuned it I recommend setting it back to factory setting and then returning all over.

Also IF you motor is reving HIGH then the motor setting isn't a problem

Ok is the spur gear spinning fast?

NO: Check your cluch shoes they might be wore down your you might just have to scruff up the bell clutch.

Yes: Is the shaft that the spur gear on spinning?
NO: Tighten slipper with the little nut

Yes: Are the center drive shafts spinning?
NO: Check your transmission

Yes: Are the dogbones or cvds to the tires spinning?
NO: Check front of rear gear boxes

Yes: Check and make sure your wheel nuts are on tight and make sure you are not missing any axles pins.

i would have to say your problem is between the clutch shoes and the flywheel. make sure the flywheel nut is tight and the make sure the shoes are on in the right direction or the spring(s) may be too stiff
