Spinning Tires

[scolly_olly]

I am having difficulties with my RC10 GT, When i start the car it starts to rev up and the tires just keep spinning. I try to put on the brake but it doesn't seem to help. I was also told at the hobby shop that it could be the clutch. Does anyone know what is going on? Please help

Yes it could be your clutch. How is your idle? Is it way high?

More than likely your idle is set too open. Try closing it an eighth turn at a time and let us know if it helps any.

Check your gap too,

also your clutch shoe spring.

You could have worn clutches or very high set idle like state in the earlier post. Your brakes should be good enough to how if you pull them so. Maybe check your servo.

What could be wrong with my sevo? I also took the transmission completely off and when i turn the idler shaft it turns the wheels both ways...is that normal or is the transmission ceased?

no as far as the servo moving be catching a stray signal or something.

You might even need to spray degreaser on you clutch shoes and clutch bell to remove the grease or oil and make sure the spur gear slipper is tight

The spur gear slipper is tight but i will spray with degreaser. Did you know if that was normal with the transmission?
