Sounds just like what happened to my backdraft 8e. Mine ended up being the rear pinion broke in two. Center diff was fine.
Sorry you had troubles first time out. That sucks.
Mine was just a bad casted pinion. Its holding up great now.
Let us know what you found out.

agreed, it could be your front or rear diffs pinion gear. i dont think the center would be as likely.
i would open up the rear diff 1st. if the pinion gear is broken, get a new one and then fill out the warrenty form on redcats site. make sure and let them know that you havent even broken in the motor yet and that the part must have been faulty.
