Did you guys get it worked out .... sounds like the buggy is new ... I would check for clutch drag ... might be a broken spring or something simple like that .... happend to me but the flywheel had come loose a little and the clutch shoes where rubbin' on the face of the clutch bell. Does it sound like that might be something to at least look into for starters .. ??

Good to see someone else with the thunder tiger on here, I took mine to the track last saturday and it handled very well on the track. If I get a decent motor it could be a definite contender, I bought mine used and the motor is tired.
Hope your get your problem worked out.
