Default Revo "bucking" problem

I was running my Revo 2day and it was constantly hesitating and "bucking"...kinda like a car does when it's running out of gas in the movies. But if I ran it half-throttle it would still wheelie and run fine, but as soon as I give it full throttle it would start bucking again. My guess would be the clutches, but I havent had a chance to check it out yet. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Default RE: Revo "bucking" problem

same thing happened to me. took engine out and clutch was completely shot. took it to lhs for laughs/replacement and the dude said it was the worst clutch hes ever seen. hahahaha. but anyways after i got the clutch i noticed i still had the same problem only not as bad. i got on here and found out the only way to completely eliminate that is to do a FOC (forward only conversion). hope this helps.

I'll check the clutches first because I don't have reverse and I did notice the clutches were showing some signs of wear. Thanx.

I agree on the part to check the clutch; as that's what it sounds like to me as well...
