So after a solid of dialing in the car and not breaking any parts...I stripped a spur gear on a light impact.

I went ahead and put in new spur gear and now when I get on the throtttle I hear a high pitch grinding noise which sounds like a spur stripping—but it doesnt look to be stripping the spur. I am thinking maybe the rear plastic chassis is comprised somehow—I checked for cracks but not seeing anything.

In the stand when I punch the throttle I hear the same thing and see the motor kinda twisting back. anyone have this issue before?
