The engine revs well but the car doesnt seem to want to engage properly. I leaned it out a fair bit and that fixed it. Then I was at one of the local tracks, which is a work in progress, and seeing as I am a novice in RC I had a few descent crashes, and once again the engine kept reving but the car stopped moving, I only realised when I started taking the car apart to check the diffs etc that I had also actually snapped the front/left dogbone axle. As yet I haven't fixed the car and i dont really know what is wrong, maybe it could be that the clutch bell and spur gear aren't meshing correctly or even some other gears? but the problem is that I cant get the engine mount hex screws out to remesh the gears as the hex screws were so tight that I ended up stripping hex shaped head on two of the four screws, so the engine is stuck where it is, so if it is a meshing problem, I am stuffed.
I read about this in your other post. I do not think there is a problem with your gear mesh. It is the broken axle that is probably causing problems. It could have occured during one of your hard crashes.
