My new mamba system is awsome. It would be even better if i could get its power to the fullest. Shortly after getting my mamba installed yesterday, my rear diffs in my rc18t went completely, so I happily went to my LHS to pick up new ones. When i took it all apart today, they were pretty much melted(about what what i expected). I put the new ones in, and off she went. Now, here's whats puzzling me. The way the car goes did not change at all. I still have hardly any power coming from the rear wheels, they spin, but only when they have no strain at all on them. The front wheels are all that are carrying it and I have no idea what it could possibly be bewtween the motor, the spur and the driveshaft that stops those wheels from getting power.

This is really irritating. All I want it to do is work. I went and made sure the diffs were tight. I tightened them all i could and still barely any output from the rear wheels.
 
ok so do tell what was it ? I'm just getting started with these and would like to know what was wrong.
