Re: Drivetrain Issue

It sounds to me like you may have an increased load on the left side of the drivetrain. I suspect one of the gearboxes is binding up.

Try to spin the right-side drive wheels by hand.
Now spin the left-side drive wheels by hand.

Is it significantly harder to spin the left wheels than the right? If so, try to find out why.

That is my best guess.

Good Luck!
John
