runnig st with two speed
i have a duratrax maximum st pro, and the other day i stripped the first gear spur. I was wondering if i could run it with just the second gear on there. thanks for the help.

it won't work because 2nd gear engages at a set GROUND SPEED.

Really it engages when the tranny spins up to a high enough rpm. Without first gear, your tranny won't spin.
See if you can adjust the shift point down to where it's engagaged all the time. Other than that it's probably worth your while to replace the spur.

It isn't a good idea. If your clutch bell is metal, which is most likely is, then you'll have metal-to-metal contact and that can create interference that will mess up your radio signal. Also, the spur gear serves as a "weak point" in the transmission, because it's easier to replace a stripped spur gear than a stripped internal gear (whatever it may be). So I'd just get the exact same one you had. Make sure your meshing is correct. If you know the paper trick, use that. Works like a charm.
