1/18th ECX Ruckus 4x4 Problem

[groove]

Hello i just bought a ECX Ruckus off of a friend and brought it home and tried it out for the first time today.I took the truck off road with some hills and got it a bit stuck and noticed only the rear wheels are spinning.I guess there something wrong up front somewhere,do you have any suggestions?

First place I'd probably start would be the front differential.

Ok thanks i'll get the truck on the bench and start taking it apart

 

[groove]

yup its the front diff alright

 

[WoodiE]

Glad you got it working!

Oh for sure,now I'm just hoping my local hobby store has the part

Just an update, parts are ordered will be in next friday.Is there anything that I can do to the new diff or transmission as some people call it to make it last longer.

I heard you should shim the diffs on the 4wds. Don't actually have one myself though

 

[groove]

Ive read some reviews and they say to do it.One of my outdrives in the front diff is stripped.

 

[Casualbasher]

Oh man, better get to it then

 

[groove]

I hear ya I ordered the parts and they'll be here this thursday or Friday.

Just an update front transmission is installed and back to having some r/c fun.

4x6 axle shims work great for shimming diff's! If you can't find some of the aftermarket brands, Kyosho also has them.
