mini summit problem

[traxxas5308]

I have a mini summit i am fixing for a guy and when you accelerate hard you hear a ticking noise like a rock is stuck... i know the noise is coming from the rear end. Could it mean the differential is shot??

Maybe, but to be safe I would take the rear differental apparat and redo it and look at the drive shafts.

It's the diff. You need to shim them. Go on YouTube and search: SwedishRC How to shim any differential.
