Just bought a used Traxxas Rustler with Novak Velociti 5.5r motor on eBay. Bought a 2 cell LiPo at my local hobby store and came home to test it out. First thing after I installed the battery, I noticed something was slipping. The left wheel was going straight and fast, but the right side was wobbly and if you even put slight pressure on it would slip. I checked the washers, and there is differnt ones on each side. I have switched the wheels and the same thing happened. I have no idea what may be causing this issue. I am really sorry if this issue has already addressed, I looked on the fourms for help but couldn't get a straightfoward answer by someone who knows what they are talking about.

I took a video to show you the wobble:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxa3Q...ature=youtu.be

My guess is it is the wheel or the washer.... I am not sure though. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Wheel wobble could be from a bent axle.  A bad tumble can cause this.  As for the slipping......   I'm not that familiar with the Rusty, but I assume you tightened the wheel nut.  Does the Rusty use hexes or pins to drive the wheels?  I think they use hexes, yeah?  The hexes could be slipping on the axle.  How does the wheel feel when you turn it by hand compared to the other side?

Either the bearings are worn out or the wheel is stripped.

It might be posted twice in two different sections. I had that issue with mine before. I cut back on how much attention I needed and figured the problem out in no time!
