Status: offline 		Just got my brand new FG MT yesterday and finally got to try it out tonight. After 30 seconds of using it in on my front lawn, it stopped moving, the engine revs and the pinion and spur gears spin, layshaft (i think is what its called) spins as well as the gear on the other end, however truck does not go forward. If you pick the truck up and spin one rear tire, you can hold the other back tire in place. Any ideas as whats up? I can't already have a problem with the diff can i?

Status: offline 		All the set screws are tight. Now, when i hold the diff. in place and spin one rear wheel, the other wheel does spin in the opposite direction and i can not hold it back. Any other ideas?

Status: offline 		We are good to go. Found that a set screw did come loose where i thought i had checked. One question tho, where can i find C-clips for the gears? I've lost the one that holds the spur gear on twice and now i need another one.
