At first when i was tryin to crank it the tires would spin and everyone told me it was the clutch bell on the motor so i took it off and cleaned it and seemed to wrk pretty good. I ran it for a while and now the tires wont spin at all even when its running the tires wnt engage the clutch bell and sput gear are turning so is it the slipper clutch now or what yall think I'm new to all this so any help will be greatly appreciated:D
 
What else spins? Does the nut holding the spur spin? If not, then your slipper is loose or worn out.

If the slipper nut is spinning, do the center axles spin too? If not, then it's something in the trans.
 
When you rev the engine, does the clutch bell spin? You have to follow the rotation till it stops. Slipper is next. Trans outputs are next, shafts, pins, wheel hexes.
 
Ok thanks i took the transmission apart and a gear on the inside was stripped i was kinda worried about taken it apart for the first time but it was pretty simple anyway ill be headed to hobby shop mon. can't let it sit idle for long i just got stared in this hobby but i love it thanks for all the help
 
make sure after you fix the tranny gear that the slipper clutch is loose enough not to strip gears again.
