I'm mocking up the components for the big Humm-Vee, and when I turn the spur, it turns the rear axles in reverse. I don't recall it being able to go in there either way, so what would I check before tearing it all apart again?
This is the Revo trans and diffs with the Slayer arms and axles.

That's a tough one. Do you have a center diff? It's only the rear axle? If you have no center diff then I'd say it's the rear diff, but I can't think of how someone could reverse the revo diffs. If the trans output is going the same way front and back then it's gotta be the rear diff.:whhooo:
 
I know it worked in reverse with the Tmaxx, but I didn't think I could reverse it in this setup...and yes, it's the Revo bulkheads.
I've been brazing the frame rails today, and I just finished hard mounting the rear end and the trans, so I'm not about to tear it down now.
It does sound like the only logical explanation, so I'll have to open it all up when I'm ready to run.
 
That was it. I had to take everything apart to add to the frame so I flipped the diff. That was an hour lost, but now I know for next time. :angry:
