Default How to fix problem?

I have owned a rc18mt for some time now and have been hearing clicking noises ,and now the clicking noise is so bad that its continuous clicks, it wont even make it up a hill anymore[&o]. I'm almost positive that it's my diferentials slipping. Is there any way to stop it from slipping?


Thanks!

You may have to replace them now. But after you do, I wouldn't put more than 3 shims on the diff. I heard 4 will cause it to bind.

ebay buy 2 of them and put 2-3 shims on the gear side of the diffs also might want to fabricate some kind of cover for the spur and pinion gears.....it was designed with indoor racing inmind I had mine out today and got a tiny piece of dirt in the gears and wore them out quickly......making a cover now..good luck

I put 4 shims in both the front and back and lots of grease. I put new gears, not all new diffs in and mine runs great now.
