well, i dont think there are really any screws loose, seems as though there is an issue internally with the front diff, and does that mean i should have taken the motor apart and adjusted the clutch shoes? i understand things break/wear out, and i knew this when i got started with the hobby, just wasn't expecting anything to happen right after break-in........and sorry if i shoulded a bit pissed off, every day the weather is getting nicer here (comming out of winter) and i get more annoyed when i can't have my car on the road.....but tommorrow i plan on disassembling it and getting new parts on the way if need be....
