Wraith rear diff question !!

[Hi-Intentionz]

Hey guys so my wraiths rear diff seems to be slipping. Example: I start climbing or crawling front wheel spin the rear ones no spin. I opened it up looks all good. But it seems as if the locker is the one slipping. Is this possible ???? The shafts are going in good it seems like its locking but when I run it I get no tire spin just an attempt to spin but the front ones are spinning. Help plzz I need to know if it's the locker and what can I do to fix it.

To my knowledge there is no diff. there. If there is spinning I would check broken shafts, pins or loose wheel nuts.

check the set screw on the rear driveshaft

Full time dig huh... What's the problem? J/k

It can't be that hard to trace what's broken. It can only be a few things. here they are in order of likelihood

Loose wheel nuts or stripped hexes
Loose or broken driveshaft
Stripped out locker
Broken output on tranny

someone else has posted a thread just like this and they didnt glue the tires and the rims were spinning but the tires were not check that then check for broken or missing pins in the hexes and both ends of the drivelines im sure its something simple

Could be broken rims too. My rtr rims click when bond up from the hexes stripping in them.

Yeah it was crazy. The center piece where the plastic tube screws to the metal U-joint twisted out. Just looking at it you would have never known. We put the Wraith on its roof, held the front tires still, and tirned the rears by hand to see where the give was. Luckily it was a quick easy fix with a spare driveshaft tube that came with the RTR.

PS: Sweet trailing with you today JT. Deffinately gotta go there a lot more.
