Broken Differential?

Broken Differential?
Okay so never mind about the battery door, i got it open. Now i think the differential on my Losi Micro - T is broken. When i go full throttle it veers off to the right, and also when i let go of the throttle the car just spins out to the right. Is this a case of broken differential? It's not the steering trim, the car can go straight. Also at one point the car didn't even move, i just heard some motor stalling sounds. It would move like a foot then stop. I'd have to turn it off then on again. Finally it started working permanently after a few off/on cycles.

Could be a lot of things. Have you bothered taking it apart to look for yourself??

sounds like some fuzz or some garbage is wound in the RR axle.Mine was always good for that if I ran it on carpet.

Other posts are on target. Did you check the right front axle to make certain the wheel isn't hanging up same for right rear as was previously stated. Carpet fuzz in right side, missing drive pin in left rear hub, all would cause spinning to right.

All the wheels spin freely. When i spin one of the rear wheels independently the other wheel spins the other direction. However, for a second or so it spins the same direction as the other, then i hear a very light click sound and it starts spinning in the opposite direction. I haven't taken it apart yet since i might return it to the seller. Don't want to take it apart too much just incase i break it. Maybe i will but hopefully you guys can help me diagnose the problem w/o taking it completely apart.
P.S. Oh, also the car seems to have a delayed response when it comes to the throttle. When i press the throttle, it takes about a split second before it starts moving. All the batteries are near max.

Hehe, yea i agree that it's part of the fun in the hobby. But it's annoying when you just want to drive the car around and something so minor is missing or is broken. Then you have to order it online (No stores near men) and get owned by shipping. I already shipped it back to the seller. He agreed to give me his Losi Micro Desert Truck for an addition $10. Thanks for all your help guys

Without taking it apart nobody can truely diagnose anything, they're just guessing. But little things going wrong or breaking from time to time is just part of this hobby, and happens no matter what you get.

Except for the FACT that he apparently doesn't own or run a Micro-T, or that the balldiff he listed won't fit in one either. Since it's designed to fit a Mini-T.

Not your fault, easy to overlook. I just hope nobody rushed out on his advice and ordered one because they're going to be disappointed and plenty pissed.
