It's broken. You might as well sell it to me for parts...
J/K!! It sounds like you may have a problem with your clutch engaging. I would sugest lifting it off the ground and trying to spin the wheels. If they catch or hardly turn you may have a diff. problem. If they do it may be something to do with the mill. If you actually BROKE your engine mount it may be misaligned, causing drag on the spur (or whtever it has on it, my RC10GT has a spur gear that meshes w/ the CB) Good LUck!

It sounds like either the clutch is worn out, or the flywheel has come loose. Probably one of the two, if not both.
While you have the mill off, check it all out, and run some sandpaper over the clutch pads.

Sounds to me like the slipper clutch is loose. Tighten it up and back of 1/4 turn. Also make sure you have 12 slipper pegs in the spur gear. If that is not the problem, check your clutch... i have a feeling that is not the problem, but check it anyway. Check to make sure your hexes in the wheels arent stripped. Also make sure all the pins are in the driveshafts where they connect.
your symptoms are (unfortunately) very common w/ th emaxx.....there's a slew of stuff to start going through....
1st the outdrive pins from the tranny and the clutch setup are where I'd start.....make sure the spring in the clutch isn't too stretched, check CB bearings and scuff inside of CB w/ med sandpaper.....if the shoes look worn get some MIP ones and change the spring too.....if those items are all fine your looking at much more difficult stuff....Do you have an FOC...if so you can spin a wheel and see if it turns the .....opposite end wheels as well...if they don't then you have an issue in the tranny (as long as the outdrives are pinned already)......if yes then it's a diff issue, I highly doubt that is the case here........ if you don't have and FOC kit installed, get one...if you don't have one thenyou need to check your servo linkage for For / Rev....make sure the linkage has full travel......if it does then you are digging into the tranny and checking Forward clutch engagement.....you're off in a whole weekend of tearing it apart if that's the case though.....
