It is probably a ball diff that keeps loosening up. Don't know how to fix it (been about 4 years since my 4-tec) but thats what it sounds like.

Why did it stop?? You may need new brushes and the com cut on your motor if it just does it randomly with the battery charged.

changing brushes isnt that bad but you need to have/no someone who has a comm lathe.

Yep.... or a hobby shop can do it. (Al's) Is that what happens though? Sometimes it stops and if you give it a little shove it will keep going? It will happen with mods a lot faster than stock motors, but it could happen even with them.

wait the diff or the tire??

FreeRideFrosty · (#16 (**permalink**))

The wheel. LoL The diff probably has a little hex screw in the middle of it so that you could take it apart. It may need to be greased or it may be totally shot. I can't tell without seeing it.

Redwings · (#17 (**permalink**))

yea i wanted to get the thing the wheel but it was 30bucks and i do think the diff is shot cuz i took it apart 2xtimes i greased it but i guess i should buy a new diff i can do that right??
