Hi,
Just finished building a Traxxas Stampede 4x4 with my son as our first RC car, tested but within a few minutes it ground to a halt - worked out pretty quickly that it had lost drive from the motor.
Opened up the Gear Cover and could see the pinion gear had moved away from the clutch drive hub, I've moved them back together and tried to tighten the screw holding the motor plate in place but can't seem to get it tight - the screw just spins. Seems pretty obvious that the motor will therefore continue to move and disengage from the clutch - any suggestions on how to get it solid and locked in?
Thanks!
