| Front Axle Issues
well first off,the low range gears in my front axle took a sh!t about a week ago,(even after tightening the bolts and loctite before it's first use) the gears are totally stripped. so I wanted too play with it today,I threw the front axle in high and left the rear in low, it worked okay,until the front end completely stopped running. I still have steering, just no power in the front axle in high or low. did I fry something? thanx.

i would say YES!! you should have ran both of them in high.. you could have fried the board?? you could try a different motor or, solder the leads to the front axle drive motor onto the board with the rear axle leads. my rear kept binding until it fried forward motion on rear only. so i resoldered to front leads. it works, but i still have bindage issues with rear. |

man i don't understand why you would do that you were asking for trouble. how do you think the low will keep up? that was a dumb move for sure. they have to be in the same gear it even says it in the manual, just incase some people think they can do that:neutral: now you need to open it up and visualy check all the gears make sure your not missing any teeth and see if anything looks/smells off. i fried mine and could smell it while i was still wheelin the fawker until it just stopped and some smoke came out of the front |
