Ok, so herese the problem, after replacing the stock clutch shoes, with aluminum, I went to run it but, i did not tighten the clutch bell down enough so it stripped out my gearing (The two big plastic gears connected to my transmission) I replaced that all last night and went for a test drive. Everything was working fine, except now my front wheels are getting little to NO power at all. The front drive shaft seems to be spinning normaly, and i took down the front differential, and it seemed to be fine also, any ideas?
 
Check the front out drive cup on the tranny. It's probably loosened on ya. Makes sure you align it over the flat spot of the out drive shaft. And use loctite.
 
I had mine do that once... when I snapped the chassis rails towards the front. The chassis tweaked so much that the axle fell out of the trans cup.

A buddy of mine had a similar problem to yours though. He couldn't figure it out at first... so he ran it anyway. After a short while, he had no power getting to the front... that's when we realized his cup had loosened and moved back a bit and then it ground the ears off the dog-bone since he didn't catch it.
 
Yea, I've heard some of the same things from the guys over at gotlosi.com thanks for the help. snapped a lower control arm on the front, so I'm kinda out until this weekend. my LHS dont stock losi parts (bastards) so its about a 45 min drive a couple of cities over to get anything.
