Clutch or brakes

[MikesCrusher]

hey guys...my terra crusher might need one of the two done....breaks replaced or cluthc pads replaced....when the car is pulled at full throttle it is like the clutch is slipping and the car just moves at a snails pace....right as the tank ran out i heard kinda like a squeaking noise from the clutch.....what should i do...and how hard is it to replace clutch pads...should i just do it or take it to a pro to do....

you said how the clutch is doing but you didnt say about the brakes? why do you wanna change it?

As for the clutch replacing it is not hard as long as you know what you are doing, and if you dont just take it a little extra slow and remeber how you take things appart and you will be done in no time. Dont give your money to "pros" i say do it yourself...its the only way to learn.

i would put the brakes on the backplan cause they dont seem to be a problem but if you can afford a brake as well i say buy it.

Suggestion would be look at your slipper clutch. It sounds like that would be more of the problem then the clutch shoes. Make sure the nut it tightened right down then back it off 1/4 of a turn. If your problem still persists then look at your clutch shoes, but with the TC using aluminum clutch shoes I wouldn't say that is the problem.

the reason i didnt say much about the brakes is because in the manual it says clutch/brake so i thought it was almost the same...even tho i know that brakes are brakes and a clutch is a clutch i thought they may serve as the same thing on rc trucks

no they arent the same....clutch is clutch and brake is brake both seperate.
I guess mavrick0 is right and you should check the slipper clutch. I forgot off-road r/c had those lol
