We've heard there've been some issues with, but we are not sure about what it is. Somthing with the spur / one way diff, during hard impacts? I know it's somewhere in this thread, but honestly, the amounts of topic are overhelming.

So can someone please clarify this?
hi cole!
the issue is:
when there is hard impact,
the FRONT ONE WAY GEAR(the gear attached to the Front one way)will have tendency to STRIP.
bad design/bad material.
to solve this,there are expensive ways(which are more permanent) and there are moderate ways and cheap ways.
expensive:get the new One Way unit
get a backing plate from Square
moderate:buy many gears /replace as needed
cheap:cutting/modifying the crown gear(this is a little difficult to explain)
