i have (from what i was told) a old RC10gt. it was a gift from a friend many years ago and I'm just getting into it now. the other day i had it running and all of a sudden would not accelerate anymore. what i saw was the spur gear stopped and the bell housing not moving when i tried to make it accelerate and also a clacking noise on the initial push to accelerate. my first thought was the clutch was bad so i took it apart and attached the picture of what i found EXACTLY as i found it. there were no springs and its boggling my mind to how this thing is supposed to work because the top of the shoes and the inside edge of the bell housing are SMOOTH.
does it look like i need a new clutch? bell housing? has anyone ever heard of a clutch with no springs on a nitro car?
btw i know my spur gear is FRIED and will be getting a new one and aligning it properly.
thanks guys
i forgot to add that when i pull the starter the motor turns over and the flywheel moves and is not free of the shaft.
