Default WHERE IS MY POWER?!?

Cen Matrix RTR. Basically an FRE at this point.
Go 3 port sport motor. 1/2 to 3/4 gallon old.
13 Tooth bell.
Diffs: 5-7-5
Carbon shoes, will be aluminum tomorrow.
I have been losing power and hearing a weird ringing noise under power. I thought it was my tune. Today it goit extreme so I pulled into the pits. When I did I saw something very strange. Under power the clutch is engaging, the clutch bell is pinning. The main spur is spinning hence getting power from the pinion but the power is not getting to the wheels at all. The spur is spinnig almost free, transferring very little of the engine power to the wheels. and if I hold the buggy on the ground it isnt getting power. WHAT IS THIS? My gut is something wrong with the center diff but before I tear it apart can anyone tell me what may be happening and lead me in the right direction?
THANKS!!!
