Ok so i put this clutch on my RC10GT, i just went out to start it up, and the second it starts up it wants to race off at full speed. did i install something wrong or backwards? cuz it never did this before with the stock shoes.

If it`s racing off at full speed , it sounds like the idle was turned up really high . Or is the engine at idle ?

Nightlife85

No its set at idle the carb is barely open, i havent changed any of the orignal settings. The only things thats been changed is the clutch. Prior to this it would run, and idle fine.

take the weights out and try that

The weights shouldn`t be causing that big of a problem . Did you push back the pins on the flywheel ?

Nightlife85

Yea they were pushed back pretty much flush with the flywheel, theres was still a tiny lil bit stickin out of the top of the shoes, but it was such a tiny bit i wouldnt think it would effect it. I thought it might be an airleak, but everything is sealed, and it wasnt messing up before and i never open the engine up.

If you thought an air leak was the problem then the engine must have revved up and wasn`t at idle . If the engine was at idle and the truck took off then something isn`t installed correctly with the clutch .

Yea, Well i just started it, and the engine started going full throttle (without me touching the throttle), so i guess i could aways take it back apart and see if theres something i missed.

Did you put the spring that comes with the clutch? if you didn't that might be the problem

If that is the case there is nothing wrong with the clutch if your engine went to full throttle . You either have a servo , servo linkage , or radio issue for the engine to go full throttle when you start it . Do you have the radio on when starting it ? Try starting it at a different location , maybe something in the area is conflicting with the frequency of your radio . Hard to say without any other info .

hmm ok so i started the car and it ran perfect ( i did nothing to the car), ran a tank thru it, then went to mow the yard. After i was done i went and started it back up and now its doing the same thing! i dont really think its the clutch anymore, i think it has to do with the engine. Any ideas?

mxr

I think it has to do with your throttle servo , check that first .

Nightlife85

Ok well whatever it was its workin good now, i think it was some interference or something cuz my servo started to twitch n what not. anyways its workin great now. just hope it stays working! this car is an animal with that OS 18 on it!!
