Help with running my Truck!
Hi peeps.
The problem is, that when I give it some throttle, the engine revs very good, sounds amazing, but the car doesn't move at all.
Can you give me some possibilities on why the car doesn't move although it is given some throttle and revs up? Do I maybe need to switch it into gear with my Radio Controller or something?
P.s. I put it together myself, everything related to clutch and gears + the engine (I fear I might have turned the clutch shoes the wrong way)

Let's start over.
What kind of truck is it?
That would tell us if it has an actual centrifugal clutch (which it sounds like it if you put shoes on it), or does it have a slipper type clutch.

I told you in my first post 
EDIT: No, soz I didn't
I have an Team Losi LST1. I checked my gear mesh and it was ok, there was still grip on the pinions. When I turn the pinions with my finger, they turn good.

HI-LO
Doesn't that truck have a HI - LO selector to choose the speed range? If so, maybe the dial selector is between the HI and LO and possibly not making engagement with the gears. I am just working from memory. I dont have one. Thought I could try to help
