Ok looks like the rear diff is gone and one of the gears in the center box. Also this gear is plastic? So looks like maybe the rear diff gave out and then this gear was stripped because of it.

Actually I'm probably just gonna park it for now as I still have the Tornado EPX and either get a second Tornado (So both of the kids have a car) or get a brushless system for the current Tornado or I've been eyeing a CEN Genesis at the lhs. That looks like a beast.

ITs the Wheel Hex for Volcano SV Qty 4. Part Number: 08065

Seems maybe its too close/tight to the steering hub and might be causing the diif to not spin properly.
