Old post I know.
Had this problem today on a brand new Typhon. I just wanted to install an HR motor mount.
The power module would slide out about a 1/16 of an inch and stop firm. Like it was hitting something.
This is with the 1 screw removed and the battery strap block moved out of the way. Broke the thumb tab off
With all the fussing and prying with flat blade screw drivers.
Finally I took the back end apart and opened the diff. The slipper is definitely seized or loctite solid to the output shaft.
I ended up putting it back together and packed it all back up in the box. I don't know what my plan is for it yet. This is not my first RC but it is my first Arrma. I gotta tell ya, it left a sour taste in my mouth.

Regards,
Duber

My slipper was glued to my output as well and I had a hell of a time getting it to go back together.
Who ever is in charge of the numskulls putting these things together should be fired.

Never heard of it before.
I would try to heat up the shaft using a high pressure lighter

Above the rear differential there is a tab you pull up on and the entire motor and gear assembly towards the esc. The first several times it's extremely difficult to remove.

On you tube look at stevo d 313 he has a video on this and shows how it's done.
Yeah, I can't budge mine either. I need to replace the chassis. Thx for the tip.
