ik i ask for help alot, its only cause i barely know anything about nitro trucks and engines. can fliping a t-maxx into a brick wall cause the clutch to disintegrate, mess a spur gear up, and a piston to break but not the motor mount.

maybe the piston broke on impact and caused the rest of the damage.

maybe but its not like the connecting rod broke just cracked at that notch traxxas has in it, idk just a thought

Truck hits wall, engine moves or chassis flexes, spur gear strips, engine rpm's go above the safe zone due to no load, piston skirt/clutch  breaks. Happens all the time...

engines can take some serious G forces as well...it's more likely that it was overrevved like crazy and broke that way. under normal operating conditions i've crashed cars from 60 to a dead stop and the motor is fine everytime. of course, the car needs several hundred in repair at that point.

that is exactly what happened. what kinda clutch should i get
