Thumbs down Belt slipping problems

so i was brwalin in some awsome dry washouts today and i realized that only the front tires were doin the work :? . so when i got home i looked on the site to see if anybody else had this proble but didn't find much. so i poped the rear diff open to find the problem. i turned it on and put it in low and just barely grabbed the rear tire put it in low and hit the trigger, to my unplesant suprise the metal pully on the motor was slping , so my question is what could i do to prevent slpipping, possibly make it go away for ever. Oh and to make my day worse i broke the entenna off the controller, it bent and popped off befor i realized what happened.

I don't think the belt will slip on the pully on the axle. there is so much surface area touching the belt from the pully being so large that it don't think it could slip.

It's not the belt slipping,it's the pulley spinning on the axle... I've called them 3 times and PMed them about the peoblem but they have'nt gotton back to me yet..

Man thats one part i did not take apart when i had the front end apart. I still have the parts sitting on my desk at home. If i remember i'll rip it apart and take some pics. If its something you need you are more than welcome to have the parts. I basically have spare parts for the internal part of the front axle if they are the same.

It might look like the pulley is slipping on the axle, but if you spin it by hand and look at the tires, they'll be moving very slowly. Just the nature of the gearing.

Run it while you have the axle open and you'll see what I mean.

I looked again and the axle is not moving, just the pulley!!! I can hold the axle and spin the pulley!!! I do know what I'm looking at....

Thanks..

Then it's probably a broken cross pin.
