A bind was my first guess but it rolled as freely as can be, and the shaft came pre notched so im not really sure. i honestly think it was the fact it was a 10lb truggy in the grass with high grip tires, and being too rough on it, perhaps i weakened the shaft from braking to hard and then by goosing the trigger just twisted the weak spot on the shaft. but its good to hear it shouldnt take longer than a few weeks to get back, i will be re-gearing it though i changed to a 46t spur from a 62 and had not changed the diff ratios yet, the crt was geared for like 63mph, wasnt getting hot but im sure it was putting alot more strain on the drivetrain. but my ring and pinion sets should be here monday so ill have plenty of time to go over the truggy and have it good and ready when the motor comes back. was also what kind of wear does the slipperential sustain?
how often to u have to replace the slipper pads? and how much maintenance is this setup? really think it would be a great thing to have
