too tight gearmesh at pinion/spur?
maybe the rear axle is binding (besides the tranny) ?

last shot is a shot motor (previously overheated). can you try another motor?
Gear mesh is alright, rear axle felt fine without the tranny attached. It shouldn't be, we only ran it in a stampede for 4~6 runs.

Thats what im thinking, Top speed was decent but now im thinking motor, i tried to run it and it just "cogged" real bad but its a fully charged battery and wasn't doing it before, And it ran for a total of 10 seconds and its really hot again..
