Having huge issues getting power to the wheels

[kaylon]

Been running my car indoor quite a bit and it performs okay...not quite as good as I'd hoped but okay.

However outside on the local grass track and other grass areas I get maybe 6-10 mph max, it's quite embarrassing LOL. I've checked all the gearings and they are fine and My slipper is as tight as it can go but as soon as the car hits any form of resistance the slipper kicks in and I get no power or traction.

Any ideas chaps ?

it must be the diff i would try tightining it up however the spring may be shot hence why is slipping

mine is the same ,absolutely crap on the grass in my garden but flies on tarmac,i dont know much about setting the car up so i set the lawnmower on its shortest setting and scalped the lawn off the car is much better but still not brilliant

Thanks for the suggestions

I've gone and given the Diff a good tighten and it seams better inside just running around the living room, will give it a field test tomorrow

El nino - Theres a lot more drag running on grass (unless its very short) so you never see the same speed you get on tarmac. Putting a smaller pinion gear on the motor will help.
