Hi all, I just took the Wraith out and she was running fine until she tipped over and rolled down a bank and now there is a clunking\clicking noise when she drives forwards or backwards. I have done a quick visual inspection and everything looks ok but I was wondering if anybody has any ideas what it can before before I start stripping it down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks |

Does it have dog bones in the front axle? Make sure your CHubs and Knuckles are in place. |

Need... More... Data... Where is the noise coming from? Do all of the wheels 'drive'? Are your drive shafts still attached properly? |

You should check the transmission gears, one may have chipped. Just remove the drive shafts and and then run it to see if you hear the clicking. While the drive shafts are off, you can also turn the wheels and see if it's coming from one of the axles. |

ON my RTR Wraiths bottom gear (The one that the driveshafts are connected to) the 3 screws that held the outputs to the gears were loose & made some intermittent noise until I got in there & loctited them down. Just a maybe consideration. |

It could be as simple as a small pebble lodged somewhere. It happens to me often. Do let us know what you find however.
