I was wondering if anyone has any metal spur gear replacement or Will I need to change my brand of rc?

no I have set it with the paper trick and still no luck. But seriously the first second I was off road a small rock seized my first tranny so I first used duct tape and it worked way better so then I made a new cover for the tranny but this time it still striped out everything was set up propely and the clutch is the redcar upgraded steal bell I have had so much greife with these cars it seems I work on them for about 10 hours for about a tank af fuel.

Like using paper to space them like every one else? They were set perfact I think it was the heat in the clutch bell cause the gears to melt I am using a redcat steal clutch bell and you can see it has been getting hot.

now i am going to buy one of these cars, either the tremor or the xp.

what i think is happening is that the two speed is absent of the important slipper clutch. like all you know the slipper well, slips if there is excess torq on the drive tran. when your driving your car off road the gears are subjected to diferating pressure, this pressure is highest when jumping, accelerating or during the second gear transition. when you mix cheap plastic with no slipper and high torq you are asking for trouble.

i belive the gearbox was developed for the on road cars because the terrain is flat and is not subjected to massive load, they figured to give everybody two speed and keep the cost of desighning down.
so, i would only get the single speed tranny, just put in a spur with less teeth.

when i get a car im going to swap the spur with a traxxas (if capatible) traxxas makes a strong gear.

This seems very very like likely No how do we fix this?

Status: offline 		hey erhoof I used a hpi threaded clutch bell on my first buggy it is now retiried because of all the problems I made it my parts car the hpi bell with threaded gears seemed ok but I think I have two problems One I need a slipper clutch in the spur gears to save them from the shock of bumps and landings were I couldnt let off the gas fast enough and the other problem is the tranny is realy prone to crud and small debris getting in through the bottom of the frame and chewing the gears up so I think A tranny with tougher spur gears that slip and are sealed is the ticket or at leaste have a cover unerneath. does any one know If Hpi Has a tranny that will fit. My last tranny had more load on it because I went to bigger tires but it was alot better for the rest of the car I am going to order a 13/18 clutch bell to gear it down. But I still need to replace my tranny.

Status: offline 		no bro, no hpi fits, i have a rs4 evo and an mt and neither are close. no spur gears fit either, i dont believe in covering up that hole since its a way for trapped rocks and debris to get out.

I tried to run at a base ball diamond and I couldn't becase the window was letting rocks seize my gears almost every time I hit the brakes hard it would just stop and bog till i pulled the rock out and it kept happening about ten times till I went home and put duct tape on the bottom and never had problems since other then the gears just striping.

Status: offline 		i bought a chinese nockoff just like the redcat tornado bb, those dame spur gears, the teeth dont strip for me but on the 42T spur the little notch that the cluth grabs to engage the spur, keeps on being shreadded, i emailed redcat 15 times so far still no response, anyone know where i can get steel our aluminum spurs for it. the peace of junk i buoght is a 1/10 .18 buggy, servos, spurs, reciever, rim, and exahst failed on this thing, ive replaced every thing with brand name products, exepect those dame spurs. the GO .18 racing engine runs good, the only thing on it that works, go to dnaracingteam.com, check out the junk.

Status: offline 		tkopper, the factory that produces the Redcat car does not put GO engines in them, therefore the parts are most likely different and non interchangeable. You should contact the person you bought it from and try to find out who the factory is. It sounds like it could be FS Racing as I know they use GO engines. Its not the same factory as Redcat.
