Status: offline 		My Slash was running fine in the backyard. I took it out onto the street and it would rev but had no power to the wheels. When I lift the rear they spin with little power. I checked the slipper and pinion they all seemed fine. I also pulled the drivetrain apart and I cant find anything. Any help would be appreciated

Status: offline 		When I pull apart the gearbox the diff assembly there are 3 gears the largest being the diff has 4hex screws on it and seems sealed I cant get it open to inspect the inside. Is this a common part on the Slash to be replaced. I am tunning a 2cell lipo with 3900kv and 23 tooth pinion.

Status: offline 		to check the diff its simple, U will notice 2 out put shafts, if U hold the housing and turn one of the shafts the other side will turn backwards. If u hold the housing and 1 of the shafts the other one should not be able to be turned.

Allso might be worth while its appart, hold 1 rear wheel and try to turn the axle, the axle should not turn with out turning the wheel.

Most common problems ive found are the pinion gear grub screw is loose or the axle grub screws are broken or loose
