I was tuning in my T-maxx for the colder weather and decided to have some fun along with it I was going full speed and it stalled...I started it back up it ran and then I heard a faint "click" and it stalled again. I tried to start it back up and All 4 tires spun? What might be making them all turn at once? The truck was running great until that happened...Please if you have any suggestions on what this might be post it, Thanks.
 
The clutch locked up. You might have broke a spring. So now anytime the motor is turned over its already trying to turn the tires.
 
Ok thanks for the reply, Looks like I have some work ahead of me :hehe:
 
You may be able to fix your current clutch if the shoes haven't shattered. If you have to use the clutch you have for now, and your able to, loosen your slipper a tad to relieve the clutch of a little stress. If only the spring broke, you might be able to get it back together by hooking to itself and crimping it together. Get your magnifying glass out and good luck to ya! A new clutch and bearings should be under $20. Whenever you have your clutch apart, hit the inside of the bell with some fine grit sand paper. Lightly scuff the shoes, too. Clean them with a bit of da or Power Shot Electric motor cleaner.
 
I replaced the pads when I was going through the "stripping spur gear" era, I should check those though, I also have to take a look at the spring also,Thanks for the reply!
