[Revoking]

yeah i got a problem with my revo and i cant seem to figure out what it is.

it will start and everything but when its running i try and press the gas but the engine just revs and doesnt go anywhere..

i was jumping it pretty high earlier that week.
maybe like 12 feeet.. lol

help would be appreciated

[maxx919]

well it's something in the driveline or clutch.

take out your trans and diffs. check for stripped gears, shafts etc.

[Revoking]

yeah i was thinking transmission pin but....

idk

i dont know how to take it apart either im a begginer.
you think ill have luck taking it into a shop ?

[maxx919]

NO! taking it to a shop is a waste of money. they charge ridiculous amount of money.

learning to work on your truck is good thing to do. taking the trans apart isn't that bad. for starters just take it out and take the unscrew the two halves. then check for stripped gears or broken pins.

I AM 90% SURE IT IS THIS..sorry for the all caps... pull the engine and check the clutch shoes. the stock clutch shoes have a huge problem with the pin holes tearing out..meaning the clutch will work but the holes are split and the clutch only works on the higher rpms. i bet that is your problem. ..other ideas are:
2-airleak ,check fuel lines and tank for cracks-*since jumping !
3-too lean
bent drive line.
-4- slipper .... loosen??

[Revoking]

alright thanks.
yeah but if i cant find out how to put it back together im gonna take it to my LHS the owner owes me a favor for destroying my schumacer havoc anyway lol

[navyeoseabee]

destroying? why take a second truck to him??? go to traxxas and get teh exploded view drawings of the truck and do it your self ..then you may learn to do it your self and not depend on others ! ...sorry i have been in the hobby for 16years and untill the last 5 years you had to build your own trucks ! there was no rtr! ...it kept the stamp collectors out of the hobby. the only way of learning is trying! the worst you can do is be back here asking how to put the tranny together or how do you do this...?... fear none get a screw driver and try it ..the first step is the hardest !

an airleak or the engine being too lean wouldn't be responsible for the truck not moving when the engine is revved.

...it kept the stamp collectors out of the hobby. !

Hey watch it bud :) I've been at this hobby for about 10 years now and have built my fair share of its. I've also hinged my fair share of stamps into my album as well. So it didnt keep us all at bay. But seriously takke seabees advise and find an exploded view of the truck. You will never learn if you dont try. You will also get so much more gratification out of it plus it'll help ya keep your wallet fat by not paying someone to do it. First check your big gear that is turned by the clutch bell gear. Those plastic traxxas gears are not the strongest in the world and it sound likke you were runnin it hard. If thats not it move on to the tranny then. Good luck, just give us a holler if ya need any more help.......Mike

[MattMan1147]

yea its the clutch Shoes

[Rc_Freak_30]

yeah... I just broke mine yesterday becasue of big jumping.... I found out by calling traxxas.. Their A BIG help and are very nice!

[hawk-driver]

its might be the spur gear, thats what happening to my truggy last week, i stript my spur gear right out

[josh drew]

you might have have striped a trany gear

[crunky]

it never seems to amaze me...
i can break it but can't fix it.
:jumpy::woot_jump:

as these guys said, check the obvious....
spur teeth, clutch spring, diff. gears.
take it to my LHS to fix... :puking:
