Granite Granite stopped working after 5 minutes

[Senton Granite Owner]

I've had a senton for a few weeks and love it. Purchased a granite and ran it for the first time for 5 minutes before it took a small knock against the tree. Power is being supplied to the engine but the wheels are not turning and when I pulled up the shaft it was not spinning? What could have happened that quick?

It could be the center differential.

Center shaft does not spin? Check the red slipper shaft is connect to the long center shaft...that is it not stripped or well connected:

If it is connected well but not turning to power the tires/diffs, take the power module off which is the entire housing holding the motor there and need to see what's going on inside, and all is connected as should.

Look at Razor RC video the see the internals:

I am no pro just adding some advice on where I would look to wait on the vets

Thank you I'll check it out. I'm having trouble removing the housing

Here is a video to remove the power module.... I have a BIG flat head screwdriver that I use to help wedge it out to push the module away from the diff

8:30 in on this one is how I remove it:

Use a card of some sort. Then pry it out with a flat head.

It could be the center differential.

Just to be accurate: There is no center diff in the Granite.

Then pry it out with a flat head.

Yeah, and alternating the sides and prying it out little by little makes it easier too.

I ended up opening it. Took forever to remove center brace it was stuck like glue lol. Took advice from everyone and ended up moving motor closer to the spur gear. Must have moved over with the knock. Thanks guys back in business! My lady and son like how the granite drives, I still prefer the Senton. I like how short course trucks land on their feet. Thanks guys for being so welcoming and all the great tips!
