I think we're going to need more information to properly help you. What type of speed control are you using? How can the wheels be moving and the truck is not? Have you checked the pinion gear, slipper (if so equipped) and wheels to make sure all the fasteners are tight? Are the tires simply slipping on the wheels? You get the drift. Give us more info and it will be easier to offer a solution.

DWB steve, i got this one down, my traxxas trucks have this problem alllll the time. It is the sun gears, the ones that stick out of the differential, the white plastic yokes just round it out with the allen screws, all i can say ism USE THE SLIPPER!!!! it will save your drivetrain. unfortunately, a teardown is required for this, you need to take apart the whole butt end of your car, open up the diff, replace the gears(traxxas finally beefed up the gears a few months ago, since this porblem was so frequent, i have ripped out 6 sets, no bother now, got the pro ball http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif ) I suggest using the thickest grease you can find, i use the stuff out of the car lube things with the pump, and try to get as much in as possible, when you screw it back together, a buch will come out, but it is alot smoother, AND helps so your diff doesn't unload as you take tight corners as much
