Default RE: Did i break something?

it's a smartech truck... their onroads are ok with a few upgrades from other more known manufacturers. but when getting an offroad vehicle you are better off going brand name. you can't go with cheap parts with offroad. you need the strength and durability.

Sounds like you stripped the tranny.. and the replacment tranny will not be any better and you will probably strip that also. if you dad has access to a machine shop he can make you alloy spur gears. or if you are really good at fixing things HPI main gear 44T will fit into the one speed tranny.

keep in mind i'm basing this on the onroad cars which share the same parts with the offroad buggies. if your truck shares the same tranny with the onroad cars and buggies then the HPI part will fit.

yah
my father helped me out. he's a car wiz. he cleaned out the clitch... it was a bit fried but still useable for a small period of time. turns out though that i somehow also stripped one of the gears inside the gearbox. apparently its all ****ing PLASTIC in there so now that has to be replaced.

also finally i found my car on ebay being sold be a different seller
maybe this might help one of you
