Just check everything in the drive line, from the pinion through to the tires. Make sure the pinion is on tight and meshed well with the spur. I'm assuming you've checked both diffs, then check the drive shafts, even the wheel hexes can slip (where the pin goes as well as the outer hex against the rim) and finally make sure the tires are glued to the rims properly. If all that looks ok, then you're probably spinning the tires It actually doesn't take that much force to spin your wheels, particularly on a lower grip surface.
