Default Front wheels spin but back wheels don't ?

Hi guys, yesterday I played around with my savage and every thing was all good, but today I was tuning it up agin but not really outside this time I was in my shed. My question is could it be from me having my feet on the back wheels and keeping it from running away or what else ? Yesterday I wasn't bashing, just running around the grass in the park and parking lot. I was playing around for only 1 hour.

So what should I do ?

did you lose a drive shaft? maybe a set screw in the drive line?

I am willing to bet your grub screw fell out! Check to see if you can turn the back wheels manually without the front ones turning and vice versa! Also watch the parts and hold the front tires and try to turn the rear wheels and see if they spin freely! Also watch for the center rear dog bone spins when you turn the tires!

Let is know your results!

Well, the back wheels moves a little bit but very slowly?

Like the other guys said, I bet it's a grub screw.
Turn the truck upside down and turn the front tires while watching the shafts on the transmission.
If you can see the trans output going to the rear spin but the driveshaft isn't solidly connected you lost a pin.
Most LHS's carry the T-maxx ones and they will work if you can't get the HPI one.
USE RED LOCTITE!!!
