what is occuring is that Associated should've never jumped on the gear diff bandwagon IMHO. I've had a few and sold them but have only ever ran ball diffs. Traxxas was good for gear diffs also and any I have actually called runners I replaced gear diffs with ball diffs also. I'm sure Reggie will be back to check in on this and he'll give you a better detailed description of what is happening. To me it sounds like the gear diff is separating enuf to let it slip in the internal gears. As for why I'll let the others give the reasoning.
Good luck and don't give up just yet...

Todd, thanks for taking the time to Help me with the posting of the video and also trying to diagnose the problem. I really love this site. I hope in the future I can learn enough to help someone much like you guys have been doing for me. Thanks a bunch my friend and if anyone else want s a shot at trying to figure it out please post away. I just want this thing to run!!
I agree because I am on the throttle full speed. Something is totally slipping and the truck has no power. The slipper clutch has been tried in several different positions with no help, not sure where to go now.
Scuff the slipper pads with a green scotch brite pad as well as the plates, re assemble. Make sure the pads are seated in the spur and not making poor contact by being jammed or "thrown" from the spur
Scuffed everything day before yesterday, it's all seated properly. The pads are seated and I have held the truck and watched ths, they stay seated and do not slip out while giving throttle.
I swear it just sounds like the gears in the diff just are stripping by ech other.
I'm not a fan of gear diffs it just seems over engineered to me, simple 3 gear with ball bearings and rings is better I agree with Klavy, swap to a ball diff and the heartache will go away. If you don't want to swap, get a new gear mentioned in the next sentence.
This gear looks toasted to me, in the photo it looks like 1/2 the teeth are gone and that would cause the sound you hear easily...

Charlie: Reedy 3300 KV Brushless. Teman: that could be the problem, I only rebuilt the diff and I kept that gear. I guess I will tear it back down and rebuild it with a new one and spend the money on the ball diff. Thanks everyone for the help I will keep you posted.
Hey guys, if I switch to the ball diff I do not need the gear (diff case) that teman pictured right? The ball diff will take the place of this right? Gonna tr to Order it tonight.
Yup, it would be a new center gear, two outdrives, diff balls, thrust balls and thrust washers and screw, t nut, diff rings, stealth grease and two bearings.
I agree with Klavy, swap to a ball diff and the heartache will go away. If you don't want to swap, get a new gear mentioned in the next sentence.
