Re: stealth trouble
The only thing I can think of is a problem with one of you axles. It would be worth checking the differential and cleaning it up, but that should not cause one wheel to spin faster in a stealth.

Re: stealth trouble
It is if you have a bad hub bearing, or one wheel torqued down tighter than the other one.

Re: stealth trouble
If the wheel has been over tightened it will rub the hub and lock up, this is bad on original RC10 rims as there is only one pin slot and cant really be repaired.

Re: stealth trouble
Just bought a B4 'ex racer' and this had a completely seized axle - I had to press the bearing out of the hub and off the axle itself. Root cause probably overtightened wheel nut as the bearings spun freely and smoothly once removed

i started with the hub and worked my way back to the outdrive. thing was seized solid.

Re: stealth trouble
No they weren't, I was reffering to the two prior posts about the B4, where it's nearly impossible to over tighten a wheel.

Re: stealth trouble
my issue was with the outdrive bearing, it was original, old and served it's time.
