I broke the Rovan in the other day with no problems! When I went to run it around the yard, it would not move! I applied throttle the and the dam car just wont move. That is on or off the ground, with tires off or on still no movement! I tore apart the hole rear end and took the plate off to reveal the spur gear and the pinion gear! Neither one of those where turning when throttle was applied! When I inspected the diff, and the dogbones I did not see anything that was broke. I also took the clutch bell off and didnt see anything wrong with the clutch pads or spring. I did not take the clutch completely apart. I did not think I would have these many problems with a new Rc. I geuss that is expected with a nock off! I have reset the needles on the carb back to factory settings twice and still the same thing. I would please like some advice on what I should do next! Thank you!
 
Sounds like something in the clutch. I have a Rovan 5b and a custom built 5b with zero issues.
As mentioned above, largescaleforums is where you should try.
