RC Driving Style
Hi I'm new to rc cars just got out of another hobby i was driving my tmaxx and i it a curb i was going fairly fast anyways after that it stopped working and was leakign fuel.I took it apart and it had a cracked fuel tank and the battery holder for the double a's was cracked anyways i replaced them and the engine comes on but it wont move at all any suggestions? There was nothing else broken as far as i could tell with my eyes but is there something else that could have cause this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
With the motor off check to make sure your clutch bell and spur gear turn freely, the motor could have shifted causing the mesh between the two of them to get tight, also roll the truck on the ground to make sure every thing is moving freely there, it sounds like some thing is bound up or tight in the drive train, also pictures would help...and I am kind of surprised that you didn't break a bulkhead or a-arm being that you hit a curb going fairly fast, those are a couple of other areas to check breaks....
 
ok i will get some pictures up all it did was what i listed and scratch the bumper also i checked and it spins freely so i loosened the engine and moved it so it touched the big flywheel in the center should i take it apart completely everything spins on the bottom no clicking nothing it jerks from time to time and doesn't go forward or backward
 
slipper clutch

I had the same thing happen to me - I hit a curb and my truck wouldnt move, the motor would rev high, but no movement. I tightened my slipper clutch and the she ran like a beauty. Id check your slipper clutch.
