Senton Help with new user and remove the centershaft

[netog]

Hello everybody.
I just bought a new Senton 3S BLX. (It is my second RC car)
After 20 minutes of using with a 2S battery in dirt terrain I just lost traction.
When I raise the car from the land I can see the 4 tires rotating and when I put it on land the car moves very slowly.

I think the slipper is loose after just 20 minutes of using the car.

In want to disarm the centershaft to adjut the slipper. But in the manual there is no instruction on how to remove the metal ring in the center of the chasis which holds the centershaft. I can't remove the centershaft whit the metal ring holding it.

Maybe it is a noob question but I really need help.
Thanks a lot.

The metal ring is a bearing. Just push the shaft a little harder holding the bearing so it will slide through it. It gets a little stuck because of the Arrma logo on the shaft but will slide with a little force.

Thank you. It worked!
Slipper was very loose... Fixed and now the car moves normally.
Is it normal to be loose just like that? I really didn't bash it hard in just 20 minutes in plain dirt.
