front wheel drive T-Maxx...not good
hey guys...i reached a snag in my fun factor today...
i was driving my Maxx today and i noticed that the truck was slower and the front axles where spinning alot more than the rear...took it in and i found out that i got fishing line all tanggled up on both rear axles...so i cut off all the fishing line and checked to see if anything was loose or broken...NOTHING...everything seemed fine! i spun the wheels...they spun normal...my friend even looked at them he said they're normal...so i started the truck again and now its acting like a FWDcar...WTH?!??? what happened? did i strip gears in the rear diff??? or the tranny??? please help guys! thanks

the trans output shaft is very unlikely, check for a spun rear center shaft, if that is in good order you killed your differential, the spider gears are $9 if I remember right and you might want to look into a kimburgh aluminum diff cup or at least a new stock one as yours is probably fubared...
