But it seemed like reverse has more punch than fwd. so I'm thinking maybe the mmm2 esc needs some adjustment. Maye some things got messed up when I unplugged it and rewired it in this truck from my other truck. Any ideas there? Then I noticed a line of diff fluid under the cd. Now I asked this awhile back but when I tighten the spur down tight it makes it tough to turn and notchy so someone here said to back the screws of a little which I did and it felt a little better but now I'm leaking fluid. What can I do about this? I am just disassembling now to re build it and make sure I didn't miss something but so far it looks good. So the two thugs I need help with is the power issue (I am running mamba monster 2/2200kv with 16t pinion. It seems like the truck was doing maybe 20 mph. I had this same setup in my other truck and it hauled ass. And I also need advice on the center diff leaking and not being smooth turning.
Your throttle maybe reversed at the ESC or the motor wires, the ESC thinks forward is backwards & vise versa. My difs all leak after 2 refills, the CD is the worst. Take the CD apart & when you put back together before you tighten it down make sue all the gears are seated, then snug & check for binding, tighten as needed. I had very similar issues, CD leaks, tighten more it locks up, etc.

Yup, same thing happened to me, & prematurely wearing out the dif cups also. I'm putting all new parts in it.
