Seriously, I about can't take it anymore. Went back 2 the metal spur gear but started chipping the bell, which is why I quit using the metal, but my plastic spur gears last about 5 times around the track. I have every single hop up on this vehicle to try and make it more reliable but I don't think that word is in redcats vocabulary. I would sell for $200 considering the mass amount of parts I have for the buggy.
