Ah bugger! - now i am not sure if I followed the nitro truggy manual or ebuggy manual on this point - so looking at the ebuggy manual, the diff gear should be to the right of the pinion when looking at the pinion (both front and rear)

short of taking it apart, and forgive the ignorant question, what direction does the drive shaft spin when looking from the back of the car to the front of the car (i am assuming clockwise, but i actually don't know) - once i spin it in that direction, all four wheels will spin counterclockwise if I have the diffs in correctly, right?

thanks!
