T-maxx won't go
I am having trouble with my 2.5 t-maxx. The truck will not go in foward nor in reverse. I tried switching form foward to reverse and back many times but no luck. All the wheels spin when you move two on the same side so i don't think it is the tranny gears or the diffS. I am stuck and don't know what to do. Any help will be helpful. Thanks

Place it on a stand and see if the clutch bell and spur gear are spinning. If they are not, then it's probably the clutch. If they are, but the wheels are not, then it's drive train somewhere between the slipper and the transmission.

RE: T-maxx won't go
i have tried all this and still no luck. I have took apart the trans and all looks well. The spur gear turns when i rev it but the truck goes nowhere. I have tried switching back and forth between forward and reverse and still no luck. I have also done it manually. Checked all the drive lines and output shafts and everything is great. I took the clutchbell of and looked in side and the clutch shoes and spring look fine to me. I don't know where or what to do next. This problem is really starting to get to me. What else could it be. Thanxs for the help again. [sm=confused.gif][sm=devious.gif][sm=confused.gif]

RE: T-maxx won't go
Let me try and narrow this down so that I understand the problem. Engine runs, clutchbell spins, spur gear spins, tranny checks out. Do the center drive shafts turn? If they turn then the tranny is good, do the front and rear axles turn? If they do the the diffs are good. My diffs were going out, when I free wheeled it they seemed to be fine. The problem occoured when they had the weight of the truck to push. Once you set the truck on the ground it wouldnt move. If your axles to the wheels turn then maybe your wheels or hex adapter is stripped. I dont see how you could have stripped all four but it is possible.
