Default One wheel spins

OK,

Freaking out a little here. Put the new (to me) cart up on jacks. Took the wheels off and cleaned everything underneath. Decided to run it without the wheels on to shake out a little dust. Back left wheel spins and the back right nothing. Could that be a busted diff or do these things have limited slip? It is not frozen up because I can move it with my hand.

All help would be appreciated. How much is a new diff if needed?

DO NOT Run an Electric motor wide open without a load as it will blow up! Injury or death may occure from flying motor casing etc. The load would consist of wheels on the ground pushing a golf cart

Thanks,

Scared me...

Also a battery question... I can get 6 Trojan T-105s for about $100 each or Interstate Deep Cycle for $67.00 from my supplier. Anyone have any experience with the Interstate U2200s or similar?

Sorry if i am asking a lot of questions. First cart...

Trojans - Don't ask, just do it

Stop working on that thing before you hurt yourself or blow it up Joking, but running it jacked up without wheels and without a load on the motor isn't smart...

NICE,

I only pushed down on the pedal enough to get it to turn. No worries.
