Default Ultrawide help please

Hey,

Under my redcat is two black gears, well both stripped. I do not know the names of them, or have a part #. Its in the middle underside of the car, I searched but really couldnt find what I needed since I dont know what they are called.

Are they hard to replace?, Both stripped while driving around [] Any advice for upgrades and where to buy them if possible would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!


-Im going to call redcat in a bit, I'm sure they can help.

I don't own an ultra wide but if I had to guess I'd say it's the tranny gears. http://www.redcatracing.com/manuals.asp

the gears u stripped were the spur gears....these have to be meshed properly to get any life out of them....the others were correct in saying a single spd conversion is the way to go...u will be much more happier with ur truggy

If you get the single speed tranny you will need to get the 13 tooth clutch bell it will give you some awesome start off power.
