HI
I have a new LST2 and manged to get about 15 minutes out of it before I had problems. It started with the clutch shoes jamming up inside the bell housing. Pulled the housing off and removed chunks of clutch, replaced with new Losi Aluminium clutch. Problem now is that the car wont drive. I've spent quite a while looking into it and can confirm the following:
- When I turn the 1st gear cog it turns the transmission via the slipper clutch, and this transimitted to the wheels, therefore assume tranny and diffs are OK.
- Roughed up inside of bell-housing and there is some scuffing on new clutch shoes, mainly on the elbow section.
-CB housing spins freely
-clutch shoes ahve been installed as per operating manual (ie thin side of clutch flush against the flywheel.
This is the really strange thing that I dont understand:
- when the engine is going the CB spins (clockwise) BUT in the opposite direction to the flywheel (counter clockwise). Defies my understanding. Every now and then, either going up or coming down in revs, the CB will start spinning in the same direction as the flywheel and hey -presto the car moves, though this is infequent and inconsistent.
Any ideas??
