Status: offline 		Hello all, I am having an annoying problem with my Stampede. While running it yesterday, the clutch started slipping. It has done this before and after tightening the slipper clutch, things are usually fine. However after tightening the clutch last night, it stopped slipping but isn't transferring any power. After tightening and loosening the clutch several times now, the truck barely moves. I can't even get the clutch to slip anymore, it just seems to be geared down really low. I have read about how to tune the clutch but nothing seems to be helping. I took the washers and spur off, but everything else seems alright. Is there something I need to be looking for? Is it something actually inside the transmission? Thanks in advance for your help.

The clutch is slipping, of course it is nitro.

My problem is either with my slipper clutch or transmission. I have had the slipper clutch apart and besides a missing friction peg and the rest of them being worn, it looks alright.

I have a feeling the problem is the tranny. I have it almost apart, but need an allen to take the grub screw off the pinion. Does anyone know what size allen this is? Is there anything specific to look for that could easily break in the tranny?
