    What did I do wrong?

    O.K.... I installed the steel CVD's... The four axle shafts and the center drive shafts. Installed the center diff also... Now when I try to go forward, the rear tires are going forward but the front tires are going in reverse...

    What did I do wrong?

    Hope its just that I put a diff in backwards or something...

    Your front diff is in backwards, flip the gears to the other side.

    I find it odd that Traxxas makes their bulkheads such that you can install the differential backwards. It is impossible to get the differential backwards in my Savage because the diff won't fit if installed incorrectly. Traxxas much have some reason for this logic, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

    I just got a new bulkhead and theve put a little ridge on the lower inside or the bulkhead to prevent the big gear from spinning of you put it in the wrong way - well dine traxxas - AGAIN. (Now just make them even less flexible please ;0)
