So something happened with my revo 3.3 clutch. I took it into the hobbyshop and they replaced the clutch shoes and spring. I ran 6 tanks through it and it was running AWESOME today with no problems what so ever. Then I try to move it tonight it wont roll backwards. These are the same symptoms that it had before. Please help? Why does it keep breaking? Did the clutch shoes go agian? And when i start it it wants to go forward by its self. Please help!

i am not familiar with this but i am going to take a stab at it.
you said clutch shoes (more than 1) and spring (meaning 1).
if this is a wrap around spring (wraps around the clutch shoes 2 of them)
plan on replacing it with another type clutch, you need to go to a
3 shoes and 3 spring clutch. i had a wrap around spring on the clutch
on a firestorm stadium, and they do not last long at all. i put a 3 shoe clutch on it and problem fixed. :thumbs:

i have no links, i just tried a 3 shoe clutch and it worked on my .18.
the fly wheel was just slightly bigger around, but fit the crankshaft
and worked. :D

Any clutch like these will work on your truck.
And the one from tower would work also.
