RC Driving Style
Recently did a slipper mod and new spur. After about a tank and a half, the tranny seems to stay stuck in gear. I have to do a running start (if you will) or hold the truck up. Any ideas?
 
Sounds like some trans gears chewin on each other, or a gear got thrown off its mesh.
 
I've had that same problem. It's usually the spring on the bell clutch, it's all stretched and your clutch is engaging.
 
Also check the clutch bell bearings while your at it.
If they rough at all replace them, AvidRC.com is the place to get bearings.
 
Bearings shot in clutch bell. LHS has oem for my quick fix. Going to place an order from AvidRC this week. Going to go ahead and replace the clutch shoes also. What is the best? I'm not touching the integy crap...may just go up with oem for now. Well, onto the tranny... Thanks guys

Buku Brass Bonded Komposite(BBK) Clutch.

I have the BUKU on my T-Maxx and I'm very happy with the bukus adjustability... wheel stands in first and second gear or adjust for less bite when and where needed (no wheelies) for better control and drivability.

There are three hex screws inside the edge of the flywheel (included with the clutch) that you can adjust on the fly without removing the clutch bell (or anything else)

Update: new oem clutch, bell, bearings, new tranny bearings and topped it all off with some grease on the gears. All
I can say is thanks everyone. Out runs my buddies revo and t-maxx. That's all in a days work.
