Does anybody have a "proven" fix for the slipping trans in a Terra Crusher?
I visited the Terra-Crusher site and followed the step-by-step procedure
for filing the clucth cam inside the trans and it made the slipping worse.
I have replaced the clutch shoes on the engine as well,once new the dealer
and I tore apart the trans and found nothing.

I am waiting for a reply from Tamiya of America tech asst. line so who knows
if they have a "proven" fix for it yet. I am the original owner,purchased it new right from the hobby shop when it first came out.Then I followed the
directions and "break-in" procedures.

Everything else works fine it just fails to move forward or has to be pushed
quite a bit before it begins to roll on it's own, then second gear will kick in.

Any suggestions would be appreciated !

Thankx DT in NC :confused:

Check the center drive cups. On my TNX they were worn and it would bind. I think they use the same tranny.
