Only have power to the rear

[BCM]

I was out playing in the yard and noticed my losi mini crawler wasn't crawling up anything good. I picked it up and noticed that all tires turn, but under pressure the frontend has no power. What is going on?

Sounds like you broke something in the tranny. The spool might be stripped or the slipper might need to be tightened....

Could also be a blown locker. Upgrade to the steel set and crawl away!

I just upgraded to steel lockers on monday .

I thought it might be something in the tranny, so I will start tacking it apart, there will be more questions up soon, I have never took a tranny aprt.

Cheap a$$ plastic locker. Mine partially twisted and would catch and then slip. That is what my $$ is on. New MRC?? OOps I guess I need to read more. LOL

then you obviosly know how to take it apart, why not take it apart and see whats up for yourself.

Have you checked to see if the driveshaft has come loose from the output shaft?

I took the trany out and took it apart, it was the big bear inside with the addaptore on it for the drive line, the front one broke free. Looks like I need to upgrade my tranny now.

I guess you mean the output shafts are turning in the gear, did you not ungrade the tranny to metal locker? If not, then metal lockers in the diffs will only transfer the stress to the next weak component (i.e. the tranny diff locker). Once the tranny has metal locker fitted, it all should be pretty tough (to a point obviously!).

Yes I need to go out and find some metal gears and metal locker for the tranny today
