Clutch Gone Already??

[jason losi lancett]

I only got my losi friday, and its had two tanks of fuel through it all of a sudden it keeps cutting out.. when i push it across the floor it climging like a bell, and locks up somrtime when i push it.. this is the cluth gone right??

Does it start.

Are you sure the brakes aren't locking up??

[jason losi lancett]

yes it starts ok, im thinking it maybe the brakes..

[XREDRACERX]

Sounds like it's time to take a look at it and tear into it a little.Since it starts fine your clutch is not engageing when you pull the pullstarter,so probably is fine.It's only 8 bolts to get to the clutch though.

When you say it cuts out what do you mean by that??

If you start your truck does it idle? Sounds like it's the brakes or a rock stuck in something..

ive had a quick look around , cant do much because of work at the mo, and it seems to have eased up , it stilll stops sometimes when i push it along the floor then frees itself.. the truck starts just fine and idle nicely and when i give it some gas it runs sweet on the work stand.. havnt tried it on the floor yet to scared lol.. will have a closer look the weekend.. but it does clatter like a bell when i push it so at the moment im lost.. im hoping its a stone some where as i was running it on gravel and tarmac..

Does sound to me you got a stone lodged in some where, 4 screws and the diff is out, you could do that and push the truck to see if anything is jaming.
Are you running the stock clutch bell ?

As you live in Kent do you go to Hop Farm event in september Dover bashers should be there they do a good display, should be there racing the losi this year.

Sounds like your just hearing the brakes move around and they are probably binding up and that's what stops it.
