When you say you tightened the diff you you mean the white piece in side with the small gears in it? X

 

[Mike c.]

the four scerws on the outside of the diff

Ok so you tightened the yolk screws to the diff. Are the wheels Tight? If you hold the truck in place and give it throttle does it try to move or do you see one of the axels spinning? What type of gear did you install? X

 

[Mike c.]

when i hold it on the ground only the back right one works but in the air they both spin and i installed the white idler gear

If you hold the back right tire on the ground does it make the other wheel or axel spin? X

 

[Mike c.]

do you mean to hold it in my hand or to place the right wheel on the gound?

 

[x_789]

Place it on ground put your knee on the right wheel so it can't turn and then look and see if the left wheel or axel is turning. Did you make sure wheels are tight and the pin is in the axel seated in the rim? X
