Default Wheels locked up

I have a 1/8th scale exceed monster truck and when all 4 tires are on the ground and you try to roll it. It gets caught at a certain point. When you lift the front tire off the ground and spin one, the opposite spins the other way. And that is normal correct? Well, when you lift the rear up and spin one the other spins the same way. HHmmm i need some help!! Also its a four wheel drive system.. Please help ASAP Thanks you everyone

check your drive cups, then check your diffs.

it might be the clutch bell or the clutch, or even the brakes are stuck on...

Ok i got that problem fixed. But now only the front tires are pulling. I think it's the little allen screw on the rear driveshaft that holds the rear differential gear and the rear driveshaft tight

Put diff oil in the diffs and make sure they are shimmed correctly and the mesh isn't too tight. Also check the the mesh between the spur gear and the clutch bell and make sure that it isn't to tight or too loose.

Ok i dont know where to put the diff oil or where the shims are or anything. But it was driving fine yesterday and i took it out tonight and the front wheels locked up now. When i push the car and make it roll. You can hear the motor kinda turn over which i dont think is right.

If your motor turns when you push it, then it's your clutch springs/pads that are bad.
