Did you first remove the screw from the bottom which holds it in place?

 

[bigrockcliff27]

It slides out away from the motor

They can fit pretty tight initially. Has to be tight as it holds motor mount in place. Taking out the spring loaded drive shaft may help you access it better. It must slide out as Senton Prime says. No way your getting the motor module to slide out with the red piece in place.

Have you checked youtube? This is a fairly good video.

Spray a little bit of wd40 around that peice.let it penetrate good for a bit then use a precision size flat head and pry the red peice from the back left side then the right side .the red block has tracks on the side and it slides in and out most likely dirt is in the tracks. most use the battery strap to pull on it.if you can't push it out from the back side with the flat head then your last resort would be to Dremel it out..of course you would ruin it and need to order another one ..be patient and just work it out little on the left little on the right untill it slides out towards you..it doesn't slide or push up.i suggest next time cleaning the track good and lubing it up so you'll have easy access next time ..also do that with the motor module tracks .lube them up..after you go bashing everyone should do some maintenance.like blowing down the debris around the motor housing . problem is most don't and let dirt and pebbles accumulate and then becomes a problem..I hope you get the red block out..if you don't have any success..try to wedge a flat head into the red block and tap the top of the flat head towards you .it might push it out .good luck and keep us tuned

So what's the progress? Did you free it out?

But both differentials have almost zero oil in them can't run it till I get oil now fml
Is this a common problem on these? It's all stock at the moment still
