Need help with HPI Savage XS Flux
So yesterday while driving, the truck stopped running. It would still steer but whenever I used the throttle, it made this revving noise. This morning I took it apart and discovered that the gear on the motor had come loose and was out of place. I fixed that and put it all back together and went out to test it in a field. It worked for the first little while but then all of the sudden, the rear wheels stopped working. It would still drive but it was very slow because it was being driven by the front wheels which just seemed to be spinning more than moving the vehicle. What is the problem and how can it be fixed? If possible, please link a video.

This exact issue happened to me right before winter hit. Started tearing the rear diff apart, and found a pinion bearing blew up. Thankfully it didn't wreck anything else! I'd pull that diff housing apart and see what's up.
