Ok, havent even had 10 minutes for play time on this truck so far after break in and a new (possibly) severe issue has come up. Very hard to explain, but ill do my best.... There was an obvious smell of burning plastic/brake an a MAJOR engine drag, and truck stalled out. Can restart with no issue and sounds fine, still tuned rich, then the engine drag got worse and the smell came back, now my tires are locked up. I cant push truck foward or backward as it feels like the breaks are applied 100% all the time. Not sure if my disc brakes are stuck or this brand new truck has a blown engine maybe.... have no clue. Carb is still tuned very rich tho. Pretty much just fininshed the break in procedure (did it on a box with tires off ground) I pulled the transmission plastic cover off, and there is no metal flakes or broken stuff in there that I can tell. 1 of the nuts that screw the gears in was loose so I tightened it, other then that I replaced cover. Now, where the brakes are on this truck, above the box they reside in there is that metal arm that the servo activates to apply the breaks, that arm doesn't move AT ALL,, should it??? Thinking this may be my problem and my breaks are stuck on... Any of this writting making sense, or do I need to make a video? Thanks guys for any assistance.
