Hi guys, the other day i took my 6 gear box apart and cleaned all the parts, i took real care putting everything back together. When i put the car back together and gave it some power it just seemed like it wasn,t putting the power down. Like in a car when the clutch is slipping??

I have had the gearbox apart twice now and followed the instruction manual, but it is still doing the same thing. The diff is set so that i can spin either tire with out the motor turning, whilst one tire is being held.

Can someone please help me with this cos i can think what it is.

The diff is set so that i can spin either tire with out the motor turning, whilst one tire is being held.

Thats your problem right there! If your holding one wheel the motor should spin when you turn the opposite wheel.

Put the car on the ground and tighten the diff 1/8th of a turn at a time until you are happy with the acceleration.

What turn motor are you using?

Hi 8rad, thanks for that, i tightened it some more and its not slipping! The motor i,m using is a Trinity speed gems 2 saphire 17X1
