Just got my first buggy last night. Mixed my fuel at the 25:1 like a good little boy was running at half throttle. I was running from my grass out onto the road then back again, about a 1/4 of the way into the first tank I noticed the buggy would lose momentum on the grass. The only way to get it to move was to bump the throttle off and on again. My grass is not very tall, maybe 1/2 way up the tires. It ran great on the flat pavement. Any suggestions
 
Tires aren't hooking on the grass, was the grass damp? What tires you running? You gonna get more traction on Rd than off.
 
The car ran fine for the first 10 minutes. It just decided it didn't like the grass after that. Grass isn't long enough to hang it up. It is bone stock, picked it up from the hobby store the same day. Also checked to see if the rims were spinning in the tires and that wasn't the case either. Engine was putting out the power just not getting it to the wheels. I have seen lots if vids of these climbing hills and the slope of my yard isn't even close to that maybe 2 degrees.
 
The set screw is loose to the rear wheels its on right side of motor and it loose
Set car on table turn spur gear with your hand if car does not move look at drive shafts to see whitch one is not turning it's my bet that it's right by motor at bearing support drive shaft will turn on end toward front of car and not move going to rear diff
