hyper pcr problem
 
after running a couple of tanks my cb fell off after hitting a bump on a sidewalk...so after putting the cb back i noticed that when i try to spin the front wheels ,it feels like something is binding ..im not sure where..and while spinning the front wheels at the same time i also noticed that the rear wheels are not spinning..i put it down the ground and i try rolling it back and forth with battery off ..on forward motion it feels like the brakes is on and off..and as i pull it backwards the front wheels arent moving like the brake is engaged...also on the rear wheels one wont spin if ur spinning the other side and i kno one wheel should spin opposite direction ..can u pls help me figure out whats the problem..
im suspecting rear diffs but y does the front wheels locks when i pull it backwards

I suspect the rear diff, as well, but as a minimum! Sounjds like there's also something wrong in the centre diff. That crash has done something else...if it feels like the brakes are going on, off, on, off, on, etc...then you probably bent a driveshaft or something as well...yes, that part will fit...

:( i also suspect that the center diff is messed up..its not supposed to wiggle even a bit right?and the sound it makes ..it sounded like the spur and cb anre not aligned..i was tryin to think if that was normal or not .i know it should be smooth when u roll it

It seems that you have to take the buggy apart to see where the problem is - it's better than just guessing.

many times if the clutch bell comes loose, it will damage the spur and CB gear
your binding might just be in the gear mesh. Check for burrs and bent or damaged teeth on those gears.

If the car is new,(a couple tanks?) the diffs should last for a long long time without problems

so the parts of hyper7 or hyper pbs will fit the pcr like diffs,center dogbones and tranny?

Maintenance,,,Fixing things before they break is always best

When your clutch bell came loose it may have damaged something

You'll soon learn that taking the car apart and inspecting and fixing things before they break makes for a much more pleasurable day at the track

I spend between 1-3 hours on my car the night before I race.
Most of the time I'll have a great day with no DNFs if I work on the car before hand.
If I just show up and drop it down, many times I'll have issues pop up
