Question about my Mt

[b-4x4]

Hi


I am new to the forum. Just pick up a redcat rampage Mt yesterday at the local hobby shop. It is a preown , I am new to the gas rc. Use to play with with electric one's. ( Traxxas Stampede )


Now my question is yesterday at night time when I was trying to play with the MT I can start the engine no problem with 2 pulls.


After accerlerating I can hear the engine is reving but the MT wasn't moving much , It seems to like it's not grabbing and putting the power down.


Any idea what this could be ?


By the way love the size of MT.

Check your set screws on your drive cups thats where the dog bones go into by the differentials they may be loose.Check that your clutch spring is not broke.Put a little blue lock tite on the set screws if they are loose and let it sit for a day so the loc tite drys.

Also check the bolt that holds the clutch to the motor.they have come loose before...

Thanks for both advice. Will take a look at both of the spot.

Check if it rolls without any binding, as well.

Hi

Anyone have a diagram on what the screw is to hold the clutch to the motor.

I brought my rampage mt preown and it doesn't come with a manual.

thanks for the guide

do they have a parts diagram for the CY 30 or 30.5?

 

[rcspeedmart]

It will be the same.

 

[Guest]

That's correct. The 30.5 only has a different crank.

 

[Ludabud]

would the ring or gasket be the reason its really easy to pull start? doesn't seem like it has a lot of compression

 

[Guest]

It could be. It is caused by loss of compression. You need to also check for grooves in the cylinder.
