First Nitro and iam Stumped (Volcano SV Pro)! After 2 days and many hours finally got the motor to stay running and get a desent run out of the Truck. When it got parked lastnight it was working fine, today when i fired it up and tried to take off it doesn't move. Motor fires up and runs perfect from what i can tell the problem is that when i hit the throttle the RPM's raise but the truck doesn't move Its like someone is holding it down, Tried lifting it off the Ground and the same thing wheels are locked tight. Tried to move the tires by hand and it feels like something is binding. Please help with any suggestions or maybe something to look for to get this fixed[

Thanks for the Post! But like i said Iam a Newbie... and well the only thing i know about my truck is how to start it and were the Fuel goes... If maybe someone could point me to a thread that has pics of the spur gear and maybe how to take something apart to check it a little better!

Good Call on the Break Adjustment, got them finely tuned and truck running again! UNTIL!!! I forgot the locktight on the engine screws and they came loose... rounded off a gear or 2!! haven't assessed the damage yet!

, when things break, thats what gives you time to learn the ins and outs of your car. Call me a nerd, but i know i like spending time taking things apart

NERD!!!!! [8D]
Haha but yeah you should get used to taking the thing apart. It's may be a pain at first but once you understand the ins and outs of the car it makes it a lot easier to diagnose what may be wrong and you can do things a lot faster.
Viva la downtime!

I started out knowing nothing about my truck, and figured everything i know just by simply taking things apart. Trust me, you will have plenty of time in the taking things apart buisness, so dont get too worn out now.
