Check that your trim is not set too high on your Radio also turn down the idle

chevyderek72

if your idle is low and your car wont stay running, put it on some blocks, when you start it and it runs with the wheels spinning, and then you put it on the ground and the wheels stop and the engine cuts (this is with low good idle) then the clutch spring probably broke

do clucth springs usually break when brand new? and i will have to wait until wed or so,to test it out.i busted a lower control arm

chevyderek72

sometimes they do, but if you get the traxxas higher stall spring it gets better take off, i would recommend it even if its not broken

wingedwheel-0420

cool i will have to get one then,and are they easy to install.i mean ive done a decent amount of work on real cars so this should be a breeze right...well maybe not a breeze but it cant be that hard

ps i searched for traxxas higher stall spring on ebay and cant find it,is it called something else maybe.

4146X is the Traxxas part number. It's probably on the first page of this thread, too.

ok i found the part.do i need to install the clutch shoes with that as well.

chevyderek72

you need to use the stock clutch shoes, or find some other ones that fit, i have seen some around somewhere. but the ones that come with the spring wont fit

wingedwheel-0420

gotcha. thanks alot for the help

ugly duck

That information is on the first page of this thread as well.

wingedwheel-0420

wingedwheel-0420

wingedwheel-0420

ok dont mind me with the ranting i know this hobby calls for patience and im working on that,i finally get her going and the damn pull start comes apart.im starting to think the guy at the hobby shop was about having nothing but problems with these darn things.this is craziness.

chevyderek72

dude i used to feel the same way, everytime i went out i would run a tank or two and something would break, and then you bet better and better and now i go out everytime and never break one thing. i havent broke anything myself in months. trust me it will get better. you will learn you truck and when something goes wrong you just fix it real quick and your cruisin again

perhamrocks

I agree
it's not always that something is broke either, sometimes it just needed to be tweeked, like bent drive shafts, just use a hammer and straighten them out. The reason stuff breaks is driver mistakes, and incorrect maintenance, the more experienced you get the less stuff you break.

wingedwheel-0420

anyone know if i could paint my exhaust pipe with that heat resistant spray paint,like the stuff you paint your grill with.

chevyderek72

i bet you could, it shouldn't hurt anything

wingedwheel-0420

ok seeing i have so much down time at the moment i decided to paint my truck black put some detroit red wings stickers on it,upgraded my air filter to a savage xl and a savage xl 160 cc fuel tank,and put a t-bone racing bumper on it.thats about all for now. im waiting for a new receiver switch and pull start and i should be good to go.i think i got this patience thing down pat. WOOT WOOT!

oh yea and once the funds are sufficient im going to get the trans upgrade from allaboutfunhobbies

New to the scene and wonderimg if there is anyone on here from the lower Alabama area?
