Default Quick help!

Hey guys,

I currnetly have a problem with my Revo 3.3. It seems when you simply push it forward, or are actually using it there is a click noise when you roll it forwards. Almost like something is jammed but I cannot find the problem.

Hard to explain, but if you know what i'm talking about an answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Examine the drivetrain and see if you can isolate the noise to a certain joint or mesh.

Okay I started my Revo, and when i pull triger it will not go, engine just revs.
My gear things is really loose. Not sure exact name of the part, but its right by the engine, black gear, and it can be tightened. I can only fit the wrench on to grip the end of the bolt not turn it, so how do I tighten this, describe well please.

Thanks

Look over your owners/maintenance manual.

actually, it sounds like the slipper clutch, my friend had the same issue. Tighten it and it should put some power to the wheels. Dont tighten too much or youl strip a spur gear.
