Default Drive Train issues

I have a 2000 TXT electric buggy. I have been reading some of the drive train issues and I am having the same type of issues. At first I heard a clicking in the passenger wheel when running then I saw the wheel slipping and buggy not going fast at all. Brought it back from the camper and jacked it up. With the passenger side jacked up wheel not turning at all under power. Jacked up drivers side and wheel turning and bearing nut turning. Use my hand to stop wheel and nut not turning but I am feeling some vibrations/resistance coming from the motor. Does this sound like stripped hubs or more like an issue in the trans case? I just want to be sure before tearing it all down.

Thanks

The differential is strong as hell. Only time there is an issue is if they leak all the fluid out and is still driven, or the wrong person goes in to try and fix something that is not wrong on the inside.

Loose hub or bearing is the most common issue. If you jack the cart up and with the tires still on, and you can "rock" the tire- chances are good its a hub. The cause is someone left the hub loose. Needs to be tight, tight , tight.

Thanks for the response, I rechecked the hubs and the nuts were extremely tight. Again no movement when drivers side on ground but when lifted and no weight on the tire it runs. Put hand on it and it still stops.

Thanks in advance
