@rossyfreeskiers @rossyfreeskiers - sometimes this can be the most simple fix, take the clutch bell off - if no damage to clutch shoes/spring then simply put the needle bearings back in and drop a drip of 3 in 1 oil down where the needle bearings are, tighten up and then try again :)

Nice car

@wonderfulcat if the spring on the clutch shoes was broken, the car would move when he would try to start the car, at least that's what my s-maxx 3.3 does when the clutch spring is broken, you also shouldn't be able to press on the breaks because that locks the spur gear therefore locking the clutch bell, therefore locking the motor.

@rossyfreeskiers must be the the clutch and the spring in the clutch that is so bad that the clutch wont go back in "netrual" if u can call it a manual gearbox, buy a new clutch or springs for the clucth, and the problem should be gone. and make sure u not put some oil where the clutch is. if u get somthing in there u will drive and hour and the clutch is gone again and u have to buy a new. cause the oil does it slippy in there and make the clutch just spin in there, hope i helped !

just quit rc cars for go karts
hi, ive got a schumacher riot which is very similar to the rascal. can somebody help me, i can get it started but when you pull the cord the whells turn so as soon as i put it on the ground the engine cuts out, it is almost like it is staying in gear, i dont know what to do, it will rev but as soon as the wheels stop it cuts out because the whells are connected to the engine and cannot move freely so when the wheels stop, the engine stops! please help someone!

Sounds like the centrifugal clutch is staying engaged. Between the engine and gearbox there is a clutch. This consists of an outer drum and inside are 3 shoes that sit on the drive shaft of the engine. When the engine is reved the shoes spin outwards and engage with the drum and turn the wheels. Your engine is either spinning to fast (adjust carb) or the shoes are stuck to the drum. You need to take apart the clutch to check what's wrong. It could be dirty, rusty or the springs could be broken.

If you have the instructions, put all the screws to the recomended sttings (I can't remeber them off hand). Make sure fule has got to the engine (block exhaust and turn over engine). Put on glow stick and turn over engine. If it won't start try priming the engine. Remove filter and squirt fuel into carb. Turn over engine with glow stick attatched. If it still dosn't start try a hotter plug (OS A3 is good).

Probably running too rich. As you open the throttle too much fuel enters the combustion chamber and floods the engine. Try screwing in the high speed screw (the big one). Good luck!
