Diffs Slip
The diffs on my TA-05 slip under brakes with a clicking sound. I'm not sure if they slip under acceleration, but as far as I can tell they dont. It doesnt matter how tight I do up the diffs they still slip.
Ive checked out all the parts- diff balls, rings etc and they seem to be ok.
If I hold the car in my hand, hold the diff pulley, one wheel and turn the other wheel with moderate force, the diff will slip with a cliicking sound. Is this normal?
How can I fix this?

Tech Adept
Best solution: Sell the Tamiya and but a real car 
No just kidding.. I think TRF415Boy is right about the belts.. I don't know what type of motor you use, but if it is your belt slipping during braking, you probably have got your brake to high. I use only around 40% of full brake power, but this depends on the type and speed of the motor. Because with 3,5T BL it's a lot more important than with a 27T brushed motor
