Have you tried locktite ? What do the threads look like on the shaft ?

 

[f1n3sse]

yup locktite. use the blue locktite if you ever want to make adjustments in the future.

I'm trying to get the nut off but when ever i spin nut the metal piece on back of plastic gear spins. how should i hold it? and I'm having trouble finding a wrench to fit that nut did a wrench that came with truck fit it?

 

[Jeremy]

A wench should have came w/ the truck ... but I just use pilars no big deal

 

[super nub i drive traxxas]

pliars for holding the slipper clutch so it doesnt spin while u unscrew it?

 

[RangerRock]

I get a screwdriver to hold the plate that spins and use needlenose pliars to get the nut off, I do replace the nut every few times of removing it.

 

[super nub i drive traxxas]

alright yea ive worn the nut its prob time for a new one. alright I'm gunna go check out the shaft like jeremy said

 

[super nub i drive traxxas]

alright the shaft looks fine. but that piece in slipper clutch that kinda looks and feels like sandpaper is worn down and is very smooth. I'm geussing thats the reason its slipping? weird thing is that piece was new and only run a few times. i geuss ill replace that part and tighten it up real good and use locktight this time around

 

[Jeremy]

ok keep us posted

also haven't run the engine in a few months. anything i should do to it to safely bring it back to life?

 

[Jeremy]

just make sure you drop some after run oil down it the motor and maybe heat the block up w/ a hair dryer

 

[super nub i drive traxxas]

So drop after run oil down where the glow plug goes? Sorry for all the noobie questions. Been off the scene awhile gotta get savage savyness back

 

[Jeremy]

Yea do that and drop a few drops down the carb
