Status: offline 		just start your truck up & lift the back wheels off the ground. if they are spinning while the truck is idling the clutch is worn. it is much safer than having a clutch spinning with nothing holding it in place. you should be able to have your truck sit at idle & not have the wheels spin.

Status: offline 		lol i forgot about that i was thinking of that when i was typing that like, if that spring is worn then it snaps well that would be realy bad
BUT, the one bad thing about that idea dicko, is that if your idler is in to much it can engage cause the RPMs are up cause its trimed wrong or idling high but, alot of people eather have the idler set to high or way to low where its trying to keep alive but it cant so, i think its when u feel like its going, replace it. and i find this funny my clutch spring broke on me like 3 days ago waiting on tower!!!!! i didnt seam like it was going to brake but o well i got 4 ST-15 springs so i have a mess load of back ups

Status: offline 		put the shoes together, join the spring & roll it on. sometimes it is easier to leave the shoes on the fly wheel. if the old spring has a visible wear mark from rubbing on the CB, your shoes are worn as well. you will either need to replace them or cut the groove that the spring sits in deeper. you may also need to clip a bit off the spring to shorten it if this is the case. the white shoes tend to wear out pretty quick.

Status: offline 		Got a strange question. When my car idles now, it idles down to a decent RPM, it is a bit too high and is SLIGHTLY engaging the clutch. Problem is it them idles ever further down, after about 5 seconds. It idles so low I have to hit the gas every few seconds to make sure it doesn't die. Do you think this is a problem related to the LSN? I got it decent but since I go the idle good, I never did the pinch test for the LSN.

Status: offline 		that's how it is supposed to idle, these engines aren't designed to idle for long periods of time, they are designed to race at high rpm. if it revved up at idle it would be mean your LSN is set too rich.

Status: offline 		hows it goin all

1) aluminum parts....if these are so bad (cause when you crash and break a part, an a-arm lets say, then it'll bend) so why not just bend it back and you're good to go?

B) crystals.....i got a pair of (green) crystals from my old traxxas electric rustler, and i tryed puttin them in my evader (and controller) and it doesnt work, anybody know what gives? I mean crystals are crystals, they should work on any receiver/controller.

Status: offline 		there are crystals for Rx & Tx, wrong way round & they won't work, there are also different frequencies, ie 40mhs, 27mhs 36mhs & 70 mhz. again a 40 mhz won't work in a 70 mhz radio. some brands (ie futaba) have crystal specific radios, so a JR crystal won't work properly in them. and also crystals have a shelf life, after a while they start to glitch, then die.
