Never had this before!
Hey,hows everybody doing?I just put in my new traxxas
clutch spring (4146x) and within 5 minutes of run time I
stripped my main diff gear.This is not your normal stripping
of the teeth,they are fine.My gear stripped on the inside
where the plastic and metel meet.Has this been a problem
for some of you guy's?This will be my 3rd main diff gear set
and I'm about tired of this at 20 bucks a pop,its expensive!
I hope Mark over at Top Speed Toys will help us with this
problem with some metels upgrades soon,because redcat
gears are way to WEAK!

RE: Never had this before!
if you have the single speed, maybe the slipper clutch was too loose and the spinning melted or chewed the gears??? When you say diff gear, do you mean the black plasic SPUR gear that meshes with the clutch bell? If so, they are only like $4 so you are way overpaying for $20

Yeah I'm talking about that one,part #08013,and It has
always been 20 dollars as a two gear set.So let me get
this staight,I can buy these gears seprate.Then I unscrew
the nut on the side to seperate the gears,or do I tighten the
one I have to stop the spinning gear?Please reply and thanks!

This is the spur gear set for the volcano truck, it only $4. Why would you change the whole set up for only 1 gear???? The more the nut compresses the spring, the less slip the spur gear will have which i think is better for these trucks.

thank you for setting me straight.Everything with

for a loop!

Hey ehroof,I have just taken my trans box apart
and you gave me a link for the wrong gears.I need
the 35 tooth main gear 1,not the spur gear.With my
nut totaly tight my 35 tooth gear still spins,so I
should just order main gear 1 right,thanks.
