hello, my thunder tiger SSR starts and revs up ok but the car does
not
move.

the weels are free of any restrictions and all the cogs/cams spin
when
the revs rise but the wheels do not spin

any ideas what could be wrong?

Don't know about the Tiger but here's some general places to check when
engine is running and reving starting from the engine output shaft

1. Does clutch bell and the gears attached to it rotate when reving up?
2. Do spur gears rotate (clutch bell gears are connected to the spur gears)
?
3. Do shafts/axles from spur gears to differential cases/boxes rotate?
4. If the all the above are ok, the problem is probably in the
differentials: gears or output shafts in the differential case/box.

Best regards,
Sami

The only bits I can see that are not moving ar the Shafts that go to
the front and rear tranmissions from the spur.

If your drive cups have "grub / hex / set" screws they are probably loose
or missing. Replace or tighten and use Loctite Blue on them.

you were right, I went home last night and found the allen screw for
the front driveshaft cup had fallen off and luckily was still sitting
on the chasis even though i had the car on its side and upside down
lol

thanks for the help guys!
