HELP! MY ENGINE WON'T ENGAGE DRIVE-TRAIN!
All of a sudden, after a few hours of amazing running, at amazing speeds, my Redcat Rampage, with new Zenoah engine slowed and stopped. From that point throttle application stopped moving the car, and then the engine stopped, and became difficult to restart. I changed the plug, but it didn't keep running until I opened the throttle trim.
I decided that, maybe the carb was leaking; vowed to tighten things later, and focused on the drive train:
In the gear cluster, I found a large set screw missing. I found another set screw missing on the gear shaft passing to the brakes. I replaced both sets screws, and shut everything back up.
I tightened the carb. Replaced a clutch on the engine, and bolted everything back together.
The engine started well enough, but with the highest application of throttle the car doesn't move. I'm baffled. Is there something wrong with the engine? Didn't I put something back together as it ought to have been? By the way, the brakes aren't working too.
