Default E-revo problem

Hey guys..

I just bought an used e-revo, but now, after clean it a litle bit, I noticed that when the motor spins, each differential spins the wheels in opposite directions..

I mean... if the front wheels spins to the front, the rear one will be spinning to the rear..

I'm a noob, but I'd like to know where is tho problem, so i dont need to diassemble it completly... Any Idea?

PS. sorry about the bat english, but i'm Portuguese...

Thanks

The diffs in the revo can be installed upside down in the bulkhead. There should be a mark that says up on them.

Look carefully at the exploded pics from Traxxas on the e-revo and figure out which diff is reversed, then fix that one.

Sounds like you have the rear diff in reversed.

I'm still waiting for the new motor..

to move forward, whatching both driveshafts from the bottom, to where should they spin?

Just for me not to have the diassemble both..

Thanks

The diffs have a big side (side where ring gear is located) and a smaller side.

In the front, the big side is to the right side (looking from rear). In the rear, the big side of the diff is on the left side.

its an easy mistake to make, putting them in incorrectly, but its an easy fix.
