Help.... Teuck keep "locking up" not sure were..lol

[Ictinike]

Heyt guys, I am about 3/4 the way through my 1st tank, I have lost a radio...a turnbuckle....throttle servo(wierd thing is I changed the servo before I ran it hahaha now I am back to the stock one)..and now the truck keeps locking up, I will be driving, then It will start bogging stop and won't move again...I can not even push it..


I will turn it off, and wait about 5 mins and it is fine to drive again...


any Ideas on were to start looking?


It is not at the tires.. both front and rear diffs and tires turn/spin fine, It is some were between the center diff(do these trucks have a center diff?) and the motor


I have checked the gears, they seem fine....


Still love the truck..not mad at it, just wish all these bugs would work themselves out

Check the brakes, they could be engaging. You said you checked the gears, did you try to spin them by hand?

X2 The brakes on my truck were tight when I first got it. I sprayed a little WD40 on it and it cleared up after a little running.

check the setscrew that sets the backlash of the brake pads. make sure it's set right. then put some rtv or shoe goo over it. it'll hold better than loctite. that helped after mine did the same thing. and i add this to align the discs.

also if the spring is bad/weak on the clutch,it will make it engage at a little over an idle


causing it to bog and start out slow and after running it, will cause double heat up on the clutch expanding and can't free push it because of the whole engine wanting to turn over..


or as said adjust the throttle servo...
