I have a tornado s33 with the sh 18 and I keep shredding the 47T Spur Gear #06032.
I check the gear mesh before and after running it and it is set right but i am still shredding them every 2-4 tanks.
I have heard of upgrading the clutchbell to hpi but I dont know the part #'s.
Can someone inform me of what they are and how this is done (maybe pictures) and are there any better engine mount screws that do not break because i am also having issues with the stock ones and have through a few engine mounts because of this.
One of the problems could be your idle is too high or the brake is too tight. Heat from dragging clutch can cause the gears to become softer then normal and then the teeth strip out because they bend.
Check that the clutch bell is not hot, blueish color or color other then silver.
