im betting i know already what i need. but maybe someone can confirm my hypothesis. my pro pulse was stuttering a bit a month ago. i dont drive it that much lately just cause in the half foot of snow on the ground my tmaxx gets around a lil easier. but none the less. i drove my pulse around in the snow when it was still dry an flakey and played around. im betting it got too much moisture somewhere and a bearing or somthing is going bad.

symptoms are its tough to get moving from a start and cruises semi-smooth from a roll. has a distinct grinding noise driving around. shes not happy with me. what parts should i go after? is there anyway i could use associated parts to replace them so i dont have to call and order megatech? im kinda worried to order from them since they dont list any prices or shipping costs etc.

It could be a number of problems...
- ball bearings gone bad
- stipped differential gear
- stripped spur gear
- stripped input gear

fortunately you can replace them with Team Associated parts. Take a look at one of my projects that I did a while back. It lists, and shows a lot of the Team Associated parts that I used.

Here's a link to my other post. Here you'll see the stock differential gear, and the Team Associated differential gear that I replaced it with (side by side) and also an after installed picture...
