Check the pins in the drive cups. Physically remove them to make sure they have not snapped. Check the wheel hexes. Check the rear diff.

i pulled the axles out and every thing but theres nuting wrong with them and I've tried to take the diff out but i couldnt quite figure how to get it out wat i figured is that i striped thegears that turn the axles but idk

With the pins in the axle cups and the drive cup removed, you should be able to feel a problem in the diff if you try to turn it by hand.

Well I don't believe it. I was coming here to look for just this issue, and low and behold, here is a thread. My Savage ran fine the last time I ran it, but took it out today and nothing from the rear wheels. Put truck on stand, started it (to verify) and rear wheels don't move. Will take what you offered here to try and find the problem.

Rolex, you da man. Sure enough, after looking at my truck, the pin that goes through the shaft, was gone! I was so hoping there was nothing wrong with the tranny, so you can imagine the relief when I was the missing pin. Back to the hobby store tomorrow.

Excellent, bsandy1. We were prepared 'cause we knew you'd be here.
Many times they look fine when you see the hex, but you'll tear down half the car to get at the diff, and THAT's the reason you need to physically back them out, just to make sure the entire pin is still there.
By the way, welcome to RC NitroTalk.
