losi help needed

[Losi_074]

ok i have my losi lst or aftershock same thing,,, when i start it up all the wheel spin ,i know the carb still needs adjusted but has nothing to do with this issue any help I'm a complete newbie here ,,,thanks in advance

Likely your idle is set too high.

 

[Racer 1966]

Carb adjustments could be the issue if it's too lean on the lsn or the idle is set too high. Otherwise check for a broken clutch spring,shoe or bad bearings in the bell.

 

[Greywolf74]

Clutch shoes need to be replaced.

 

[beason]

how fast does it idle? like racer said, a high idle could cause this.

also a broken clutch spring, broken clutch shoe that is wedged up in there, and/or a seized clutch bell bearing.

 

[Ballen]

broken clutch shoe wedgeed in thee gets my vote . Happened to my revo

 

[Losi_074]

cool thanks for the advice ,i just rebuilt the engine with the help of you tube vids lol
new colet new bearings clutch nut how ever the cluth shoes and stuff are the old wich the guy said was just replaced , but i will deffinatley relook at theese things,,i was also told to try the trim aka acceleration set to the remote might be to high ???????

ok got it running .still needs carb adjusted .but rookie mistake and broke a lower A arm

 

[fescue101]

was the problem the clutch spring?

 

[Losi_074]

setting the trim on the remote did the trick.....just busted the front lower A arm this morning so replaced all fronts with rpm race parts...not bad

 

[Phins Fan]

RPM is a great investment. Free replacement for life for breakage. Had a set on a few cars and have yet to break anything. "Bent" some but never broke.

That is why I also have 1/5 bajas. Gassers are the easiest to tune.

They are also mad expensive Wish I had the money for one.

 

[Losi_074]

correct my if I'm wrong but that is running on gas vs, nitro,,,,seems that be cheaper nitro is killing me at 32 dollars a gallon

1/10 = cheaper to get into, cheap to upgrade/ repair (parts replacement), far more expensive to fuel up.

1/5 = expensive innitial investment. Expensive to upgrade/repair. Dirt cheap to fuel up.
