When you get a tire bound up...let off the throttle and free the truck instead of riding the throttle. Guys break TXT and Clod stub axles by doing the exact same thing. It's a crawler, not a horse in the Kentucky Derby. |

Right after I installed the low gear, I twisted that part. One front wheel worked, the other diddnt. I've had it for about a month and a half.

It has nothing to do with the high or low gear. If that part is broke, your front end won't be able to move, high or low gear. That plastic part simply connects both of the axle shafts together. If one side is stripped like I had, and the other side is still OK, only one tire will move.

yeah i glued it back together and you are right about that peice. and 45 for another truck i will not pay. i will go back to a tlt. that thing took some punishment or jsut go clod.i'd hate to spend 45 more only to have stuf break again. if i am going to run 2.2 tires anyways. I thought these would last longer than one battery pack at least. oh well.. |
