I was driving my Nitro Rusty today and all of a sudden when i went to give some gas the engine screams really high but the car doesn't move...i shut it down and let it sit for about 15 min....started it right back up and everything was fine but as soon as i gave it some gas it did the same thing...any ideas...anyone

First off check your spur and slipperand if they arent spinning/stripped check the clutch.I've melted so many spurs on my S-Maxx that I bought a Robinson Racing steel spurand havent had a prob with anything in drive train in a cpl years.

Mine did the same thing when on of the dog bones came out,you may want to check it.It could also be possible that your spur gear stripped.

Same thing happened to mine you might need to change the sun and planet gears in your gear box but thats what happened to mine when i got it and it was a easy fix.
