slippage
I put some wd40 on earlier(before the slippageto fix a differnt problem) and I think that it made the gears slip easier. plus i have the fastest gears and motor which would probably make it slip easier...I THINK..not sure...any more tips people??? thanks

FIXED
Well I fixed it, my guesses were wrong. You know when you take the plate off in the back,the one with three screws with the axles under it, well turns out that the driveline gears in the back that make power go to the front were slipping because they werent making direct contact 100% of the time. well I took a piece of wire and made it so it pushed the gear out more(like a washer-looped) so it made direct contact,and it works! Im gonna lube it 2morrow so i dont cause damage-i probably wont tho.

Well, you're not supposed to hold one end still while revving the other end. That's what killed them in the first place. Mine are starting to slip, but I'm running a li-po with stacked fets, so that was expected.
