Status: offline 		check the wheels looking from the top of the car and make sure the back 2 wheels point in the same direction and the front 2 wheels point in the same direction. If yes then lift the front of the car and spin the wheels one at a time does one spin slower than the other ? If no then lift the back pick one wheel and spin it forward , do both rotate forward ? if yes do it backwards do both rotate backwards ? if yes then find some room and roll the truck on the ground what does it do ? go straight ? , to the left ? to the right ? let me know .

Status: offline 		If I was you I would adjust your slipper clutch and try using the same gears that originally came with the truck. I was out at a track today , which I have never been at , and my Jato took a beating . NOTHING BROKE OR STRIPPED . I have an idea now on how to control the jumps but I must have flipped and rolled my JATO 50 times before landing on all four wheels ,which is why the slipper clutch is need to keep the teeth from breaking.

Status: offline 		were you able to hold the car and turn the gear 3/4 of a turn beforethe wheels attempted to move ? Yea if it was all the way tight you got lucky by ruining the gears. A guy has an electric one and destroyed is mass differential. and tranny gears.

you could TRY to make the rotary carb work, but getting the linkages to work right would be hard
