having trouble with my stealth tranny because it seems like one wheel is not supplying as much as the other but when I took the tranny apart it looked fine. is this normal??

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.

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

Had this problem recently with my rustler. The bearings were the problem

thanks I will replace the bearings then and see if it is better

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.

I bet on a seized up bearing on the diff. output

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've had this happen on my b4. car seemed so weird.

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

Was the crush tube in the hub?

Crush tubes weren't included with the RC10

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.

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