newbie looking for help
 

hey guys im new to off road electric and just a backyard basher not a racer. i purchased 2 second hand lazer zx5's off ebay and im running a brushless lipo set-up. both cars hav now lost rear wheel drive after short usage. i thought for sure the power shredded the standard gears but when i pulled it down the gears are fine. what should i do?? any help is much appreciated thanks.

could it be the slipper clutch?? is that adjustable???

Just had a look at the manual.
So you say that all gears appear to be fine?
Have you checked the rear diff?
Maybe the nut that holds the rear diff together has come undone...

Here is the link to the manual on oople.com

Hope this helps

My money is on the rear diff...

Best advice is to sell both of the cars and invest in something a little more bash worthy. I can promise you that you'll blow through parts on these cars like there's no tomorrow and unless you've got a money tree in your back yard you'll be broke in no time.

If you want a 4wd buggy to bash with buy an 1/8th scale, you'll have more fun cause you won't be fixing broken parts every two min.

thanks for the replies and advice guys- the diff gears look good but the ring gear free spins on the diff itself very easily i hav a brand new gear set and ball bearing so i will replace them 2morrow and tighten it up and let u kno how it goes. and yes i think i might get them running then sell them for a short course truck. thanks guys.
