i have a FOC-ed revo. after driving for a couple of hours today, i found that if i push the car froward, the spur gear doesnt move. sometimes, it wil move but it will stop at the same place it stopped at before. when i move it backwards, the spur gear spins but it feels all bumpy. its not smooth. the car can still drive without feeling any binding, but i wanna know whats wrong? so i think its my one-way bearing in my tranny? or possibly the clutch shoes wore out or something?
thanks

It's time to learn how your truck is put together.[:-] Part of this hobby is working on you car/truck. You may only need a new spur gear or maybe just and adjustment? Your clutch shoes could be done but, I don't know how long you have been running it? I had to completely disassemble my Revo twice last week to fix a problem/mistake.

there's a OWB on the first gear, so that if the engine slows down the car will keep moveing, so say if you land and the wheels are turning faster then the engine would be at that rpm it doesn't damage the engine or clutch, so long story short, it's normal lol.

Danju

are you sure its normal? after installing the foc, ive never had this problem until now. before it was spinning freely back and forth.

yes i'm sure it's normal, it's a safe guard against hard landings so that the wheels cant drive the engine over revving it and damaging it, seconds gear doesnt have a OWB on it though, it's connected directly to the shaft, most guys that go e revo lock the tranny in second so they can just use the electric engine as breaks.

ahhahahahahahha. i found the problem. after searchin for bindings, i found that my integy airfilter neck was hittin the spur. i pushed it down and wallla. i win!
