SC10 Grinding and Stuttering...?

Tyler350 · 11-07-2009, 12:45 PM

Just recently I went to run my SC10, and as soon as there's any torque necessary, it grinds and stutters. For example, if you give full throttle, it grinds. If you run into a wall slowly, and then give it throttle, it would just grind and not even try to move. I checked my gear mesh many times, and it is fine. I checked the slipper, adjusted it, and that didn't do anything...I am running a VXL motor in it. I don't know what the problem is right now? Is this in the transmission or what? I'm just asking this before I tear it all apart.

The diff is likely stripped.

Pull the diff apart, either the gears are stripped or it just needs some shims added to it. Was this a kit or a RTR????
The early kits had a problem and needed updated shims.
The RTR's came with shims to correct the problem.

Sonds like you need a diff rebuild kit. The new kits should allready have the thicker shims in them.

If you buy a dusty one from your LHS you might need to use two shims.
