Broken!!

[MTSnowKing]

Alrighty, well I'm was driving my maxx the other day and everything was working fine. i go and take a cornor alittle to sharp and my car flips once and lands back on all fours. but when i give it throttle just the front wheels are working. i looked at the driving gear and nothings broken. i think something is broken in the the gear box thingy that the driveline conects to inbetween the the bulkheads. just a guess tho



-what do you think?

Check your drive shafts under the tranny, mine broke too and that was the problem...PS. I thought it was cool driving with only the front wheels lol

maybe the grub screw to that holds the driveshaft yoke to the pinion gear fell out.

Happens a lot. You would think they would quit using worms for screws!

 

[MTSnowKing]

well the driveline still moves. but doesn't turn the axels

 

[NCNitro]

It would, but the yoke would just spin on the pinion if there is no screw in it. Without the screw it can't turn the pinion gear rendering the diff inoperable.

oh ok
SO THATS PROBABLY THE PROBLEM
