Morning everyone. Since I'm new I figured I would introduce myself. My name is Chris, live in Tampa, FL and I'm just getting back in to the RC hobby. I have a Traxxas Villain IV boat (that I purchased 15-20 years ago and am restoring now), a Traxxas Rustler (electric) from the same time period and a HPI Nitro Rush Evo that was purchased used off EBay about 5 years ago.
It's been a blast getting to tinker with the .15 motor and getting familiar with everything. However, the other night I finally got to a spot where I could really open it up and well, the car didn't like that much. Somehow threw a dogbone after a control arm came off. After that, I replaced the dogbone and reattached the control arm, but it was like the clutch was not engaging. I decided to give it a few days to see what the issue might be and low and behold ran it last night without a problem. When I brought it back in I did notice there was fluid all over the gearbox and back of motor. Looks like it was coming from the gearbox but I do not believe those contain any fluid from what I have seen (could be mistaking the lack of fluid with the differential though). Any thoughts as to what's going on with my truck?
Pics or the threads worthless
