Which shaft is it that won't spin. The one going to the differential or the ones coming out?

i had that same problem the oter day. I had to make sure the drive cup was line up correctly on the shaft coming from the tranny. i tightened it incorrectly on the round part of the shaft and it would slip. once we put it on the flat part no more problems.

Sometimes when i start my truck up and i give it a little gas, it starts going backwards. Then i start it up again and it's just fine, Whats the deal with this??

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
 
i would say it is bad landings, not as big as air as my tmaxx, but it might be big air for these about 5' landing vertical on 1 tire

Today was the only time it starded doing it, but i noticed if i rolled it forward a bit before i started it would be fine, but i also noticed my pull cord sometimes dosn't retrieve all of the cord back in, but usually on the final pull when the engine starts it goes back in.
Thanks for the help in advance ehroof, your the KING!

39 and i doubt you will find anything that will fit, i tried from hpi, traxxas, tamiya, kyosho. Its the same pitch as the hpi but no gears will mount like it.

39 teeth[X(] Thats a weird amout of teeth on a spur gear.

yes, you will need a 13 tooth clutch bell for it, an hpi clutch bell will work
