So I put the big monster truck tires on the rustler. After 5 mins of running the diff just locked up and started smoking in the rear. Once I began investigating, the pinion and spur gear was hot. I chipped the spur gear. And slipper clutch is toast. Spur gear shavings everywhere. And the motor input shaft couldn't spin probably because of the trans case. I saved the diff and idler gear and some bearings. Now my choices are to get the drag slash trans. Or prolines 32 pich gear trans, or a hot racing gear case. Since I am low on some money I will probably go with the hot racing case. With that I will also get a new input shaft, slipper clutch assembly or should I do a slipper delete? Also will get a spur gear. I am still running the stock driveshafts which are still fine but planning to get MIP axles for that. And also a fast Eddy bearing kit.
