Default Running on 2 wheels

Im having trouble with finding what the problem is with my car. it looks as if everything is pretty tight near the rear part of the car. The front wheels are the only ones getting any drive to them. the rear wheels are barely spinning when i throttle up while the front are moving like they should... I heard I need to tighten the hex screws but I cant find them....Anyone know what to do???

Thanx,

TheHoBBiESt.

Default I do!

I just had that problem now!! Just finished running..

do this:

TRACE the power line back..
From the wheels, to the dogbones.. everything ok?
Then.. its goes to the transmission.. and there you'll find the hex screw.. its a SMALL little thing right on the shaft.
If its loose, it will slip and the front side of the shaft wont get any power!

I have that problem every.. 5 tanks or so even after using threadlock!

If you still cant find it.. let me know.. I'll take a picture of my car and show ya!

Default Shaft

Ram,

When you lock down the shafts there should be flats on the shafts where the set screws screw down.

Remove the set screw then spin the shaft to find the flat, when you see the flat use loc-tite and screw down the set screw.
Put some ass into it when you screw it in.

If you dont get it on the flat it will always slip. Look over your manual to see what I mean.
