Got any pics? Maybe it's a clutch issue?

How is it slipping? under hard acceleration, barely moves from stop, going uphill, etc. That would be useful info.

If I stay very light on the gas it will go but soon as I get on it a little bit it slips ,the pad is stock pad that came with it I'll try some 600 grit and ruf it up a bit , today I found that the tub chassie had a little twist in it , one of the front wheels is higher then the other ,so I'll strip it down and try to get it out ,having a hard time find a new one , I may have to go with the blue one

AE still has them and think they are selling for around $16(?) right now...

doesn't sound like slipper to me you loosened it after pix. Sounds more like diff is loose. Tighten the diff down lightly to locked and try it.

a simple thing to look for also is your drive pin condition in the wheels. I've been at a standstill scratchin my head for a few hours when it was a wheel pin that was actually slipping because of a stripped out wheel :? .

I believe I purchased the last one instock. After I paid for the chassis it was no longer available. I might be worth a shot to call AE and see if they might have any laying around.

you should be able to find GT parts on ebay quite easily. The place is littered with rc10GT auctions, I have to weed through them to look at regular buggy auctions :lol:

Is the chassis the same as the Nitro DS?
