Status: offline 		Hi-
Now that I finally got my truck started I'm having a problem getting it moving. When I give the truck gas with the remote the engine is screaming like it wants to go, but is barely even rolling. After letting off and on the gas for a few minutes with no success I shut it off and thought I better get some advice. Help!! Mike

Try that first

Status: offline 		More information would help like what truck and like some others asked when giving it throttle where does the turning stop? Yes could be the slipper or the clutch or a bad differential or strip gear in the transmission or a screw missing in a drive cup and so on. Yes the slipper is the frist thing to check.

Status: offline 		I tightened the slipper all the way, and attempted to find the differential screw to tighten it as suggested. However, the manual shows the screw with the drive shaft apart and I'm having a hard time finding the screw to check it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
