Sounds like the metal pin in the spur gear broke. Thus just happened to me it's a real easy fix, there are a lot posts explaining the signs and how and what you can use to repair it!

Sounds like a common problem. Shear pin. Your motor spins your gears which transfer to your axle which will spin your axle shafts. BUT, most likely your shear pin is in 3 pieces. Tear that axle down until you get to the gear that has dogbone connectors on each side. Take off the 4 small screws and you'll find your shear pin; prob. broken. Several ways to replace with something stronger.

That was it. Thanks for the help, I would have never found that. I guess these new 540's I am running put a lot of power to the axel |

 540's? That stock diff pin didn't have a snowballs chance in hell. Hope your running metals gears now too. if not, order em now so you have less down time when they go.  | |
