help with my car!
i have a nitro redcat tornado s30 and all of a sudden the rear wheels wont spin again! we just replaced the back gear but thats not the problem i know that. all of the dog bones are in. the front wheels spin fine though. here is what happened. i was driving it and it was working very fine! than i flipped it on the grass by accident and it turned off. we turned it back on but the rear wheels started not to spin. we were not running it hard AT ALL!

I would guess the problem is with a diff. You've worn out one of the gears or something. Try a few of these things;
1) If you spin the back wheels (hold them both and spin them the same direction, together) do the front wheels move?
2) Can you see the rear dogbones turning as you do Step 1? if not the problem exists in your wheel hubs
3) Can you see the dogbone connecting the rear diff to the centre diff turning as you do Step 1?
Just a few things to check first up.
My guess would be in the following order.
- You've stripped the rear pinion gear (part 02030 - Drive Gear) according the manual.
- you've stripped the gears inside your centre diff.
- lastly, it's a bit of a fluke that it'd happen to both wheels at the same time, but you may have lost the pin that hold the out drives of the wheels, to the wheel hubs. So basically if you turn the wheels, only the wheels spin, and not the dogbones and such.
Would be interesting to find out the outcome though. Keep us posted
