Default Himoto Rapida gearing issue

Finally got to get my rapida back out and run it yesterday but evidently my screws cmae loose on my engine mounts and I have no gears. My gears are completely grinded down to nothing. What would be the best spur-pinion combo to put on my single speed?

if you didnt change your clutch bell you have to, lol. You will continure to rip spur gears with the stock clutch bell. You need these to make all well, lol

i have ripped gears out of most of my rc's, i just ripped out the gears from my tc3+ and hpi rs4 3 last weekend, once you upgrade the clutch bell your ok.

Would the new single speed one from CMS or AllAboutFun work in this case?

Yes it would, But always remember to locktight all screws that are metal going in to metal. The engine is a BIG MUST on the locktight. And what I do is after every race I go and check all the bolts screws and make sure that they are all still there and tight.

Grinding to a hault after blasting threw sand dunes and seeing what happens to the gears on an LST is interesting [&:]
