what pipe mike? jp-3?

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 02-05-2007, 01:12 PM

JP2 is good, jp3 will hurt ur top a little, get the werks or sirio 2013 thats the best pipe for these motors

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:09 PM

OK. I can't get this dang thing to move.

The motor revs high and barely moves.

The flywheel is plenty tight. It's not something else in the drivetrain. I'm at a total loss. I tried a differnt CB too.

ur clutch is done

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:16 PM

Crap. He said it was fine, oh well. Guess I just gotta add it to the list I gotta buy.

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 02-05-2007, 06:21 PM

looks pretty burred up to me?

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:23 PM

Well I know they are getting close to needing new ones. But I thought I would be able to get at least another 1/2 gallon. I can stop by LH tomorrow and grab a new set and see if it helps.

so the buggy wont move at all? does the spur gear spin?

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 02-05-2007, 06:36 PM

take ur flywheel off u may have spun the collet, couple guys had an issue on the grid cause the losi flywheel is a different size or somethin

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:36 PM

It moves but very slowly while the motor is revving. The spur spins, but not fast like somethign on the drivetrain is slipping, and its not binding.

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:38 PM

I've already had it off 5 or 6 times. What do you mean by spun?

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 02-05-2007, 06:41 PM

like its too big and it isnt holding onto the crank all the way or it is spun inside the flywheel it self, just make sure everything looks normal and that u are able to keep it from turning

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:45 PM

I checked all that. It starts fine on the box and I can shut it off from the flywheel. I thought it was the collet at first because it looked the gap was pretty big, but I don't think its that.

**Tex** · 02-05-2007, 06:46 PM

+1 on that clutch is done.....

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:47 PM

So you think that is the problem? I'm gonna get some new ones tomorrow, but should I be getting anything else?

**Tex** · 02-05-2007, 06:49 PM

new springs wouldn't hurt. Make sure you get the KHZ or new Losi "blue" shoes. Both of those should last you a good while (like 3-4 galllons with regular maint.)

Traxxas_Junkee · 02-05-2007, 06:50 PM

OK, I hope that will solve the problem. Thanks.

destroy_my_revo_15 · 02-05-2007, 07:07 PM

so the losi "blue" or khz shoes are a must have?

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 02-05-2007, 07:10 PM

M2C racing makes a great shoe as well

destroy_my_revo_15 · 02-05-2007, 07:13 PM

m2c? never heard of them got a link?

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 02-05-2007, 07:13 PM

destroy_my_revo_15 · 02-05-2007, 07:20 PM

They make the 4 shoe clutch that is supposed to be amazing as well correct?

**rocco79** · 02-05-2007, 07:21 PM

thats the only downfall to M2c .. Almost too many choices...

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 02-05-2007, 07:22 PM

the 7075's will last the longest
