How to Fix Differential on Rlaarlo AM-X12

Yep - I broke it!
Rlaarlo AM-X12 buggy took a big hit at the skatepark and snapped a rear differential cup.
Here is a quick video on how to fix it!
You can source the parts for the buggy straight from Rlaarlo: rlaarlo.com/collections/rlaar...

    What if all 4 wheels aren't spinning? I just put my AM-X12 back together after some cleaning and maintenance. Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out where I went wrong and why the drive shaft isn't engaging when I rotate the front or rear wheels in the same direction.

    I would suggest starting from the motor side of the driveline. When you spin the motor - follow the driveline path. See when things stop moving - that will give you a clue for what is wrong.

    I'm curious about something and maybe you can help.. I'm looking for an ESC programming card that is compatible with the 45A ESC in this Rlaarlo. I was going to buy a cheap Surpass Hobby card off of Amazon and give it a try, and just send it back if it's not compatible, but figured I would see if you can maybe steer me in the right/better direction. Thanks!
