Notorious Rear wheels won’t turn

[Ed Montir]

Hey everyone. Quick question. Rear wheels won’t turn on my Arrma Notorious after I crahsed it and put it back together. Front wheels are turning fine. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Sounds like a busted diff or binding in the rear drivetrain. Have you looked at the center diff and verified that both sides turn? Should be some resistance as you turn the cups.

Thanks - diff should be fine. Just replaced it as part of putting it together. Will check drive train.

It's in the rear... Something is not assembled correctly..

Rear diff put in backwards?

Sounds like the rear is in backwards so its fighting against the front

With the diff removed can you spin it over with you hands? Could be binding within the diff since you stated you just worked on it.

That's what I was thinking.. .. or possibly the wrong pinion or ring gear.. spiral vs straight cut.. gp4 vs standard..

Thanks everyone. Diff was fine but I had used too long a screw (there’s a new one!) when changing my gear box case which messed it up.
