I need help with my tmaxx. It's dies when the brakes are engaged and when trying to start it the wheels try to move barely. A blue rubber piece had ripped off that sits behind back right wheel. I attempted to rig the blue piece back on but that didn't help. I was running this truck good several times the day it happened before blue piece ripped off. I am guessing it mite have to do with clutch but idk what to do?? Help please
 
If the wheels turn when trying to start it, its most likely engine clutch related. Broken spring or shoe, could also be very bad bearings.

Back off your break shoe's a little bit you might have too much breaking FORCE on them.. I had that problem once when I 1st got my MAXX all's I did was back off the screws on the break disk's... Sometimes when you have TOO much Break Force the engine will stall & I think that's the problem your having....

A nitro engine should never stall due to the brakes being too tight, or when applied no matter how hard you apply them.
