Revo is not going!! Again!!
revo starts ok... throttle response is ok because the motor revs... but no movement... checked and tightened the slipper clutch... wasn't that... the 3.3 is spitting fuel out the exhaust like theres no tomorrow... seems either not to go into gear or just have no drive... every now and again.... if i lift it up slightly it will start to move... and it wants to go because when all four wheels are on the ground... it kind of.... bunny hops.... have checked the opti drive... but seems to be ok.... please help!!! the spur gear has no tension when turned by hand and freely spins clock and anti clockwise. the revo wont freely roll forwards or backwards??? what the hell has happened to it???

Uh, Oh! :\ sounds like the trans gears, If the spur gear still has teeth and the slipper has all of the pads on it and tight. then I would be tearing into the transmission. If it's shredded, Go with a forward only conversion. best trans mod. I've had no problems since. even with a big block.
