i can't start it up runs good transsmission is fin i took it apart and checked the one way bearing in there...my spur gear isnt stripped...the spur gear moves tho when i give it throttle ...is it the slipper clutch or clutch shoes you think
 
is it possible that someone tryed to adjust your shift point and turned the wrong screw?
 
Do the wheels spin if you lift it off the ground and throttle it? If yes, then check the slipper clutch and main clutch. One is slipping too much.
If no,(but the spur gear is spinning as you stated)then you'll need to start checking drive shafts and diffs.
 
yea they spin just really slowly...how do i check my differential
 
I had the same problem one time and it was the spring that held my clutch shoes together.
 
hey i have the same problem.I have the same truck as yours. I starts the truck up and give it some throttle. It doesn't go anywhere, but my spur gear is not strip and is moving.Then i tried to lift it off the ground and give it a throttle.My wheel don't move.I am a beginner but i am pretty sure my transmission is in great condition because i heard if the transmission is bad,you can hear some clicks. Any suggestions?
 
Transmission will not always make noise. If you snap the pin on forward gear it will not make any noise. Snapped mine a few times in the last couple months. I am told its from my slipper clutch being too tight. Only way to check is to pull it out and see if the gear spends freely on the shaft, it should not. Sucks if thats it because the only way to get that pin is to buy a forward only kit for the revo, or use a hardened roll pin like I did. If you have a stripped gear in the tranny it will not make any noise either, went through that last week. On a side note the only gears my lhs had were not the same part number the stock 3.3 has in it but it is a lot funner to play with than it was. It may depend on what you have in your diffs but if my earthquake loses an axle no power makes it to any of the wheels. When my rear wheel hex on my maxx stripped out last week I had front wheel drive but it was weak, like most of the power was getting wasted on the wheel that wasn't moving.
