i have a max st truck and when i hit the gas the rpms go up like they should but the truck barely moves.

how new is the vehicle? if its brand new, u most likely need to adjust the slipper clutch. if its old, check the diffs and the clutch for wear. check the clutch first, then the diffs.

its not the diffs cause the clutch bell doesnt even move.

if the engine revs but the clutchbell doesnt, then its in the clutch. pull off the clutch and inspect for wear. most likely either the shoes have worn so badly that there isnt sufficiant contact patch remaining, or they are so glazed, they are excessivly slipping

i dont really understand because i thought that the slipper clutch was on the same chaft as the spur.

Nitroaddict

not the slipper clutch, the actual clutch that attached to the engines crankshaft.

ok im lookin at it. Its like 3 peices with a spring around them and it just rubs up against the clutch bell. And bothe the cluth peices and the inside of the bell are smoothe so idk what is supposed to stin the clutch bell at all.

you will have to type a bit more legible. i cannot understand what you are asking.

take everything apart, and sand the shoes and inside of the clutch bell with fine sandpaper. then clean it thoroughly with DA or nitrocleaner. reassemble everything and test it out. if it still doesnt work, lemmi know.

If you are not sure what your shoes are supposed to look like, go to your LHS or get on tower hobbies and find a pic of your shoes. If they look significantly different than the pics or what your LHS has then replace them. If they are worn to points on the end with no hole, replace them. If they look like they are still in good shape, then sand em and clean the bell. Last of all, make sure they are the right shoes. I found out this weekend that traxxas shoes will not work in my Cen, they are to light and the spring is to heavy. So if your spring is the wrong size or your shoes to light, it wont engage the clutch bell.
