Slight problem

[swarmjt]

when u start my truck or leave it at idle it likes to roll forward... i turned the idle all the way down and it still does it... any ideas? its not going fast or anything, just rolling..:flamer: :buggy1:

Well I never started your truck but I'll say it sounds like the clutch springs are probably worn out and engaging way to early.

What truck is it? The old RC10GT didn't have springs on the shoes and it would drag pretty much all the time.

If you have a clutch with spring(s) on the shoes, either your idle is too high, your CB bearings are going out or your clutch spring(s) is old and tired.

That would be my best guess. I believe the problem lies somewhere in the clutch department.

sounds about right.. i replaced the bell and had to retie the spring

try adjusting the trim on your handset (but watch the brakes dont drag). Also change the low speed needle.

note- with your idle out all the way as soon as you brake your engine will cut out

i turned the idle all the way down on the controller and nothing.. brakes don't work??? never had.. thought it was suppose to be this way

 

[bourney2006]

have you ever taken the arm off the throttle servo?
if so you may not have set it right (or if you havn't it still might be the case)

 

[swarmjt]

i have.. doesn't appear to be problem

Brakes never worked??? How did you stop?

Is it a RC10GT? Maybe I missed it, but not knowing what rig this is makes it a bit tough to help.

i stop it myself.. it is a volcano stx.. never have had brakes
