I am new to the forum. My kids just got their first arrma truck. Not even one battery worth of use and a front wheel fell off. I don’t know anything about them. I tried taking a bolt out of the (don’t know what it is called) arm behind the axle. Nothing came apart, so I just put the bolt back. How do I get to the screw that holds the wheel on? Can someone explain (pictures are good) how to repair this? I don’t know too many mechanical terms, so simple is good. Thanks for any help.

Welcome! There’s an M3 screw inside the black plastic cylindrical driveshaft on the wheel end. That might be your problem. You access it by inserting a long 2mm hex driver into the driveshaft. Make sure to use some thread lock.

If your wheel fell off and part of the axle stub is still attached to the wheel (all too common). Then this video should help you out.
There are also many threads on the forum with the same issue.

I had taken out AR721320 bolt. Nothing came apart. I know there is a screw inside the driveshaft (AR310780) but I don’t see it on this parts schematic.
Yes , that is the problem. I can’t figure out how to take it apart to get to it.

I’ve got it figured out. When I took the bolt out of the linkage the first time nothing came apart. I didn’t want to break anything so I left it alone. After hearing what others said and watching the videos no one mentioned anything specific about that. So I pushed until they popped out. Then the the other details on the actual repair were helpful. I just need to find a longer allen wrench to finish the job.
Thanks to everyone.
