Hey guys...


I have a 2 week old rampage MTv3 Pro. I have some trencher tires on it and buggy gears.


Anyways, i ran it all day yesterday and it was running GREAT, i got it out today let it warm up, and drove it around the yard like normal and about 10 min into the run it wont hardly move anymore.


The motor runs and revs like normal, but the truck will barely move. The plastic gears are good, and when i rev the motor i can see the driveshafts to each diff spinning good, but it transfers no power to the wheels at any corner...


from the looks of it, both of my diffs went bad? that seems awfully poopy for a truck that dosent even have 3 tanks of gas through it...


any thoughts?
 
im not farmiliar with the center spool... what part is that?


brake deffinentally is not locked up. I will go around the yard at very slow speed, with the engine revvved up high. I can see both main driveshafts spinning to each diff, like normally, very quick and snappy responce. but out of the front and rear diffs to the wheels the spinning is very minimal, just enough to make it roll.

center spool is the gear-shaft that takes motion from the brake shaft and transfers it to the front rear shafts.


if you lift your car and you spin a wheel by hand how does it feel and is the other wheel spin the same or the opposite direction.
 
when i pick it up and spin, it feels like normal. i can push it along fine on the ground.


I got it in the house and started looking around, went right for the rear diff, and it looks fine. Noticed that i lost one of the inside pins for my rear drivers side wheel.... could that cause it?

well poop, i feel like a dip poop.


I put shrink tube on every joint that has a pin.... is that an ok thing to do?
 
it is probly that the alimunim square inside the gear is the grus screws probly came lose like mine did and it just wouldnt move. Try taking the cover off and make sure all those squares behind the gears are tight i locktighted mine been fine sense sorry guys about ny bad puncuations sometimes its hard to understand me but i just have no idea where to put periods i will try but it might make even less sense lol
 
or check the clutch to make sure it is engaging ..got to pull the motor to do that though...


but them pins will def stop it from a full run..
