that happened to mine too, so we took it apart and all of sudden went back to normal so now my problem is when i start it and trigger the remote it position or apply the brake on without me even touching the remote and as i was reading on it is a safety caution just in case the batery is low a guess.paross0214 said:
I had the exact same thing happen to me. I thought it was the brakes but it wasn't. Just today I started taking it apart. I took the front assembly off the frame. It rolled fine. I rolled the car with everything still attached and it would bind up. I took the rear assembly off and it rolled fine. I tried to spin the gears on the transmission and they were still binding. I started to take the transmission gear plate loose from the motor ( the 3 big hex bolts ) and after I lossened those 3 bolts it free'd its self up. Any idea what happened??? Something catching in the clutch??paross0214 said:
Yolanda you are a lifesaver! You have no idea how much grief you saved me by making that post...I too had the "brake lock" issue today, if i had not seen your post to this problem i surely would have pulled the last 6 hairs out of my head!...lol...I know for sure i would have never checked those two set screws, or thought they could cause the problem for that matter...That being said i have a question for you, i have taken the two set screws out and im ready to loctite them, exactly how far do they need to be screwed in to be set properly?...Now that i have gone thru the painful process of getting to them to get them out, i want to make sure that this is a one time deal, so i want to set them properly...Thanks again Yolanda! I look forward to your answer......yolonda21 said:
So what was your final adjustment location hamster?...Did they end up being flush or just slightly in from flush?...Or for that matter were they slightly turned out from flush...My MT has only seen like five tanks of fuel so far, so im just past the break in stage do you think flush will be good enough, or do i have to keep trying different settings...Its not easy getting an allen key on these things...lolhamster huey said:
I don't have a micrometer, so i cant really go by that measurement, i guess the best way to ask this question is, how much of the set screw should be sticking out of the upright?...One half of its length?...One third of its length...Or one quarter of its length?...Which one of these locations would be the closest to being correct?RampageHopUps said:
