low power on left back wheel..

[jonnylocktong]

ok, im a totaly newb on this. my sons losi mini crawlers left back wheel is "loosing" power. Do i need to replace the diff - lockers or something?

if hold that wheel, the other 3 wheels will still turn, so they feel "locked" with the power from the motor, but the left back can be still while the other wheels are moving.

thankfull for help (bad english here...im from sweden).

I would take a look in the rear diff locker. I bet it's no good any more. Just pick up a the steel replacement and change it out.

Check and make sure the wheel nut is tight, and the pin didn't fall out of the axel behind the hex. Not a very common problem(happened to my brother though), but if you didn't tighten the wheel down enough, it could be a possibility.

I am putting my money on the locker though. Get metal lockers for the front, rear, and center, and never look back.......

Indeed, it's probably the locker. These are one of the first necessary replacements; if money is tight, do the front and rear first and the center when you can.

That's good stuff!
Yeah - those lockers didn't have a chance. Even 1.9 Flat Irons will tear 'em up. Glad you got a band-aid over it while you wait.
