Rustler 2WD rear diff gear show no damage...but dont work? Any help is appreciated!
Hello. My 2WD rustler suddenly stopped running. Making a zzzzzzzz noise but no going anywhere.
I figured spur/pinion...nope. Tore it all down to the diff, cleaned greased and spins fine. Go back together and still doesn't seem to work.
When I hold the assembled diff out of the housing in my hand.....spinning one shaft spins the other backwards. But I can spin both shafts freely any way by hand....such as when I go to assemble everything, there is no tension to tighten the slipper. When I hold the driveshafts, the diff just spins.
I saw no visible damage to any gears in the diff, or the 2 gears in the diff housing that spin the diff. If anyone has any idea of what I need to do, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you
Edit: I should say that I did see the little roll pin in the groove on the gear inside the housing was intact and seated fine as well. (sorry for noob terms im learning)
