Status: offline 		I recently started having this problem my savage xs wont move when I hit the throttle makes like a grinding noise as its trying to move but it just stutters. Now when I did pick it up and held it in the air it seemed to work fine. Bad thing is I originally thought it was the motor giving out and bought a new one and it didnt change a thing. I checked the pinion gear and transmission gears so all is good there and I was in the diffs not more than a week ago and everything was fine. Think it might have something to do with the esc? I dont know any opinions would be appreciated.

Status: offline 		Actually I just ripped apart the rear diff and discovered on of the bearings that sit on both sides of the diff on the shafts has totally exploded think this could be the problem forgive me if some of these problems are a little annoying because I do not have a lot of experience with the diffs themselves.

Status: offline 		Found the exploded bearing left that diff out turned the car on with the front diff still in and it was still having the same problem. So I took the front diff out and ripped them both apart and all the gears inside are in perfect shape. But with both diffs out the motor spins freely without any hesitation This is really starting to get old...lol I cannot figure out for the life of me whats going on with this thing.

Status: offline 		sounds like either your slipper nut loosed up or the transmission has a stripped gear. did you check the slipper clutch nut?

Status: offline 		All the gears in the tranny are fine actually, one of the slipper pads looks really worn down so Im changing that to see if it helps. My slipper nut seemed to be tight when I took it apart so I dont know see if the pad fixes it.
