is the spur gear and clutch bell not meshing? does the clutch bell spin when you give it throttle? The clutch could be dead.

Like Mayhem said, take the top off and have a look at the clutch bell and spur gear. The spur is the big gear infront of the motor. Make sure there are no teeth missing off the spur gear, that it has good contact with the clutch bell and if all that is good, check the clutch.

First thing that happened to my revo was the Opti-drive toasted and took the reverse servo out with it. You are probably just stuck in neutral, but may have suffered the same fate. See if you can push the shifter arm to the forward position.

If something like that happened to you, Opti-drive or servo, or both went out, Traxxas will take care of you - if the truck is new enough.

this kind of happened to me. i was trying to break in my new revo and it just sat there when i gave it gas. i didnt want to rev it much because its not broken in but it sure sounded like it should have been moving. i losened my break and it started to move. it still doesnt seem to move as fast as i thought it would but, it moves.

I got the Revo for my girl a couple weeks ago and had this same problem. It was only the slipper clutch. Try tightening that thing up and see what happens. After that, if it doesn't move you may have tranny trouble, but since you're not even broken in yet it's probably the slipper. Good luck.
