Arrow xxx-cr Tranny problem

Hope some one can help. I was running the buggy when i screwed up and banged it into reverse from forward. When this happened naturally it stopped running.

If you hold it off the ground the tires will spin. As soon as i put it down nothing happens. would the diff be the place to look for the problem? The slipper seems tight when i checked it.Any other thoughts would be a big help. Really want to get it up and running again.

ill take a guess, you probably ripped up the diff gear or the other two transmission gears. i could be wrong though.

i didn't open it up yet. when the wheels are off the ground they will spin but not as fast as normal. i also notice that unlike my other cars when you spin the rear wheel say to the right the other wheel doesent spin to the left it spins to the right,which led me to think the diff was messed up. If that makes sense.

Definatly sounds like the diff is shot either the screws it stripped or the diff gear

sounds like one of my first bashing experiences....i was a super newb to r/c and i kept wanting to ride wheelies, and i was also slamming it into reverse then forward (you didnt mean to, but i did lol ) anways thats when my first experience came from changing out my first differental i sure did pop that cherry

i would take it apart and check it... never know whats wrong till you just start taking stuff apart
