I purchased an RC nitro car from www.trendtimes.com. The add states its a "Nitro RC Car 2 Speed Buggy 1/10 Scale" with SMT15CXO engine.

First, I'm trying to determine the manufacturer of this product . As best I can tell its from searching the WEB this is a "Smartech" product. I emailed trendtimes but so far they've been un-responsive. Can anyone verify this is a Smartech product?

Second, the car starts fine and engine revs up when throttle is pressed, however it just barely creeps along. It seems like something is slipping in the 2 speed transmission. When holding all four wheels stationary I can move the transmission gears in either direction with little effort. From looking at the manual, it seems there is a one-way bearing in there and I don't think is should move that easily in both directions. Comments?

If this is a Smartech product, where can I get parts?

Thanks in advance!

is the engine broken in and tuned up? you can turn the gears both ways but one diection should move the whole buggy

Engine is fine.

I can turn the gears both ways and neither one moves the car. One direction seems to be a little tougher to turn but then gives and slips.

Thanks
