Status: offline 		Hello group,

I was running the car in the dirt the other day and noted that the engine was reving without the car accelerating. Eventually, it wouldn't move although the engine was reving. I brought it home and checked the slip clutch and it seemed fine. When I spin the rear tires without the engine running, the rear end feel gritty. Here is my question....is it possible to blow the rear end or transmission out of these cars? I want to fix it, but do not know where to start.

Thanks everyone.

Start by taking apart the differential and check to gears to see if anything is wrong.

You can buy rebuild kits off the net or just buy the gear that is messed up.

Also, check your clutch shoes to see if that is the problem.

You asked him what truck he is running. I think that it is an RC10GT by the subject of his post.

I wasn't bashing you either.

Status: offline 		Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I am going to tear into the transmission tomorrow and check the gears. I will also check the clutch shoes. There are slots in the wheels for the shafts and they are aligned properly. I am still pretty new with the nitro cars, but reading the forums and suggestions from those who have experience certainly helps. I will let you all know what I discover after tearing it down. Thanks everyone.
