Slipper Clutch Problem?
Hi all - My savage xs flux usually has much more umph and acceleration, then all of a sudden I just hear the gears moving but no power coming through. The truck still moves, just not as fast as usual...Do I need to tighten the clutch?

If the slipper doesn't correct the problem then other things to check would be:
* The grub-pins in the drive shafts. Make sure both front and rear drive shafts are turning properly. The truck could only be running on front or rear drive if a pin is broken
* If the drive shafts are OK then check the wheel hex's and make sure they are locked onto the axle with the pin and that the wheels aren't rounded-out where they fit over the hex. The drive axles could be turning but not turning a wheel.
* If they are OK then the problem is in the differentials.
