I replaced the stock engine with a Bartolone Racing Zenoah 32. First time running it I didn't give it full throttle. It moved about 5 feet then it stopped. Wont move. Just revs. Dog bones are still there in place. When you pull it from one end the other end moves. Im stumped. Thanks
 
I'd be checking the clutch.....did you install clutch or bartalone. How's your spur and pinion mesh. Don't sound like"" drivrline"" problem but a clutch or spur and pinion issue.
 
Thanks. I figured I could buy longer bolts ro raise the engine to clear everything but then I realized that the gearing is on the side, and there was now a center diff and tge 2 dogbones. The front and rear driveshafts were connected to and run from the bottom of the engine. Now it looks like its run from the side of the engine now. I bought this engine from a coworker last year and my Baha ran like a r*ped ape. I wanted it in my Rampage and at first the mounting holes wouldn't line up so he swapped engine cases for me.So now theres just bigger issues and of course theres no RC hobby shops anywhere me. And no one around here knows nothing. Thanks again

did you check the gearbox? Maybe one of the set screws came loose.
