Default RE: Need ID help

Already had my first idiot moment. A little background first: The other night I wanted to see if it ran so since it didn't come with a battery, I rigged one up by twisting the wires of a 6v battery tray that I had to the wires of the receiver's switch. Well all I was going to do was get it started and maybe putt around a little. I got it started and slowly ran it across the driveway. The battery came loose. When that happened, the servo went to WOT. The car then shot off into a boulder at the edge of our yard. Thankfully that stopped it before it went into the neighbors house. Unfortunately, I think the engine shifted in it's mount a little. Not noticing this, I went to run it today and after only about 50 ft it quit moving. I thought WTH. Well once I walked up to it, I saw this:


Looks like i'm going to be installing a new gear or two. LOL I was already planning on tearing it all apart and cleaning it up and replacing any weak parts in the drivetrain so I guess now's as good a time as any.<br type="_moz" />
