Help

[edu01jose]

Well, I'm having a problem with my truck. It's a firehammer MT. It starts and I pull the trigger and motor spins but the car doesn't go. I can't get the spur out of the truck to see if the clutch is spinning. I believe it's loc tied in there.
Any help?

Not uncommon...

Start the truck and pull the trigger slightly. What item is not spinning.
The rotation should start like this;

Clutch
Clutch bell
Pinion gear
Spur carrier - Could be the issue if plastic
Spur gear
Spur shaft
Small spur shaft gear
Diff ring gear
Outdrives
Axle shafts
Drive cups
WHEEL SQUARES - Probably the issue
Rims
Tires

See which one is not spinning.

Thank you! I will check the wheel squares.
The spur is metal.

How can I check the wheel squares? With or without the tires?

I started it today and it's leaking by the exhaust. Anyone have an extra normal exhaust tehy'd sell or send me? I'm using an x exhaust by team go nads.

Everything spins including the diff but the drive blocks don't. What should I do to fix it?

I think I found the problem... The block was spinning over the wheel because the wheel on my truck is broken.
I need the fallowing:
Exhaust and a spare wheel with or without tire.

Please PM me
Thanks

Where is your exhaust leaking? If its one of the two gaskets you can replace them. The rim, you may want to just buy a new one: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=firehammer

. It's a team gonads x exhaust with extension tubes. It's leaking at the tubes. I'm trying to fix that now but if not I'll buy one from TJJ

Not sure but is it a TGN product or a xcan like this: http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl?c=885035&sc=12&category=&search=x can

Like that one with extensions.
I fixed the leak with a special glue for car mufflers.

Now it won't start. I did run it today for 10 min and ran out of gas. (I had very little in it)

I'm thinking it's flooded so I'm gonna leave it overnight and test tomorrow after school.
Thanks!

Take the plug out & it will help it clear. Also you may need to dry the plug off if its wet with fuel but it should evaporate away if you are leaving it overnight. Check the condition of the plug whilst you got it out , the colour will give you a good idea of your tuning - black = rich, light brown = lean, choco brown = about right
