?Revving? Rusty
 

hi

there is a problem with my Nitro rustler when I push the Accel it just revs up it does'nt even move but when i take the 2 rear wheels off the ground and push the gas the wheels spin... but not fast. I took the Engine out (its a TRX2.5R) and checked the clutch and everything was fine. could someone help me please
thanks

did you check the slipper clutch? also did you check to see if the axl hubs to the wheel is stripped? this happend to me and i thaught that i ruined my dif, it turns out its just the axles slipping.

worst comes to worst, check the diff, on some there is a limited slip that can get loose, and if that tight and you checked eveything the diff is probly screwed.

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

your clutch shoes fine including the spring?

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

it sounds like the axle hubs are stripped, and hopefully thats what it is

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

I had the same symptoms. It could be your differential output yokes. The stock plastic white yokes strip easily depending on if you have the older ones with two grub screws, or the newer setup with the one screw that goes all the way thru. Either way this may be your problem, check it and if it is I would upgrade to the steel output yokes.

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

yes those are fine. are the yokes those white things connect to the driveshaft?

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

So what part do i need to get?

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

first you need to pin point the problem. look at the wheel hubs first.

[sm=confused.gif]any luck

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

my rustler did the same thing and it was the idler gear inside the transmission. half of the teeth were stripped off of the gear.

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

thats what i think the problem is but how do i check if it is the gears or the yokes???

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

look at them, you will eaisily notice a stripped peice.

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

are you thinking of the spur or pinion gear?

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

Cause I think its the planetery gears

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

so what do I do then?

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

look in the tranny![:@]

i think your out drives are plastic too, check them, then check the wheel hubs.

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

when you hit the gas, does the spur spin or not? if so then its your drivetrain if not then its your clutch shoes or something in that area...maybe the flywheel pins broke off for some odd reason

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

Ahhh I found the problem [img][/img] that thing that in my hand is supposed to go in the hole of the spur gear[:@]. ok now that I found the problem what is the right setting for the slipper clutch?


P.S I might have uploaded to pictures or none at all. I still dont really know how to upload pics:D

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

Oh and thanks for all your help guys:)

RE: ?Revving? Rusty

Try clicking on them

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

duh:eek: yea it might help if you have that on

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

Its supposed to be stuck in the spur gear but it fell out:D

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

ok now what is the right setting for the slipper clutch?

RE: ?Revving? Rusty
 

it should slip for 2seconds at full throttle. altough you can get away with one second. dont over tighten because you can blow out the spur or tranny.
