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.

ooohh boy this might be some work huh??

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.

alright i'll brake this thing open 2rrow and go to hobby town and get allthe stuff i need so this thing can run wit the tmaxx's this summer haha

Or you could get the little wrench, some wheel nuts with the locking plastic part in them, and screw it on yourself.....

wait the diff or the tire??
um help? - FreeRideFrosty - 12-11-2006
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.
um help? - Redwings - 12-11-2006
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??
um help? - FreeRideFrosty - 12-11-2006
You can definitely buy a new diff. I am pretty sure they come unbuilt with directions. It is pretty simple....

alright thanks
