tmaxx wont go

[rcracer4567]

I just got my first nitro car and was running it the other day after the break in period then all the sudden the car stopped moving. I will give it gas and the engine winds up but the tires will not spin. Any suggestions on what the problem could be. Thanks!

check to see if the slipper clutch is loose. Does it have reverse?

No it doesn't have reverse installed yet.

Do you know what the slipper clutch is? Try tightening it and see if that helps
some pictures would also help

Its very common on a new tmaxx/revo for the slipper clutch to loosen during break-in. Check the tightness of the slipper and look to see if you may have lost a slipper clutch pad.

I was looking at my slipper clutch and there is only two pads on it. could that be the problem that one fell off? and if so is all i have to do is get a new one and put it all back together?

Yes, if you lost a pad that’s most likely the problem. 2 can't grip as well as 3.
You can either replace the pad(s) or you can do the brake disk mod. Use a brake disk ( part #4964 ) instead of the pads and widen the holes in the disk slightly to fit the slipper clutch plate pins.
