Default RE: Differential Gear Set Problem?


ORIGINAL: steveelkin

uhhh I was wrong on that lol. Turns out there is definitely a groove for an eclip. So, I went and got a new one. It's all good now. Everything is staying together. However, I'm on to my next problem. My engine is running great... All of my drivecups are tight and drive shafts are good. Ive got a nice mesh with my spur gear. But when I give it the gas I've got next to nothing as far as speed is concerned. It does roll around at about a 2-5 mph pace but nothing more. If I pick it up off of the ground and go wheels spin like crazy. I think the slipper clutch might be too loose. How tight is this thing supposed to be?

If its revving high but not moving and the drive cups grub screws are tight its most likely your slipper, tighten down until snug then loosen a turn.
