I'm a new rc hobbiest and I'm not sure what I've done... I've broke it as told by owners manual... its a tmaxx 3.3 model number 4908.... ok what happens is that whenever its running which the motor runs great... i give a little gas and creeps forward but if i full throttle the motor just revs and it sits still... I NEED HELP...SOS any advice
 
If your clutch bell, on the front of the engine spins, and that in turn spins the spur gear when you throttle up, the first thing you want to check is the slipper clutch. It needs to be tightened.
 
Time to check all the shaft pins in the drive train. Trans to drive shaft, shaft to diff, diffs to axles and axles to wheels.
It's probably got a broken one in the drive train. Not likely to be the trans at this point.
 
welll how would be able to tell if it is or not... and how can i get to engage??

I asked earlier if the spur was spinning. If it's engaging, you won't be able to hold the spur with your finger when you throttle it.

Or if it is working you loose the end of your thumb and index finger.!!!!!...lol
 
id say hold 3 of the tires still and spin one all by it self try each tire if it spins freeley something is broken, could b ur hexnut pin thats just behind the wheel, Have u had ur wheels off prior to ur problem
 
thanks for all the help guys but i gave up and went to my LHS and the clutch pads on the slipper were gone. It was my fault not tightening them after break in... oops but learned a lesson..... Thanks again
