I have a fairly new E-Maxx, its all stock except for the front and rear body/ shock mounts that I just installed from RPM. I was using it and it started sounding like the gear inside the transmission is spinning but is stripped, it will not accelerate now? I have a few questions. First: How do I take it apart to look at what is broken? If it's one of the gears what should I upgrade it to so that this doesnt happen again? Also when this is apart what are some good mods I can do at the same time?

Thanks for any and all help,

Disconnect the motor leads. Remove the front and rear ends from the chassis, so that you can remove the center half shafts from the tranny. Unscrew the chassis braces from the chassis and the tranny comes off. That's about it I think. Refer to the assembly instructions, it helps a lot.

Most likely the idlers stripped. You can upgrade to aftermarket alloy idlers.

I finally took apart my E-Maxx and found the spur gear stripped. I installed a RRP slipper gear kit. The only thing that needs to come apart to do this is the black plastic on the back of the engine area. The gears are right under the cover and just that cover needs to come off to get the gear out. The front and rear ends do not need to come off. If it is anything more than the spur gear then more might need to be taken apart.
I took apart almost the whole truck and I really didnt need to at all,
hopefully this saves someone time in the future,

Sorry, didn't know you had not even checked the spur and pinions before posting for help. You mentioned "inside the transmission" which I interpreted as inside the transmission gear box, and the spur is located outside the gear box.

You are correct, I guess I didnt explain myself very well initially.

Thanks for the help though,

Btw disassembling and reassembling really helps in understanding the truck, so it's definitely not time wasted. You will know where to troubleshoot from if something goes wrong, and you can almost pinpoint the fault even before disassembling.

Once again, very true. I learned a lot about the truck taking it apart and reassembling it. I've had it pretty much all apart except for the transmission, engine and electronics.

Thanks again for the help,

Glad to help.
