Should I worry about getting the new gear sets? Where can I find some info about this? What is the difference?

. If you don't understand that let me know and I'll show you on the instructions

Stripped Servo Gears
I stripped a couple of servo gears too. turns out I had too much EPA on my radio and this caused the servo horn to hit and bind with the servo case during full left turns. You may want to check that out.

I've been running the original gears for a month now. I didn't even know about that problem.

There's nothing wrong with the 1st version gears when running a ball diff up front, the problem is when the on-way is used. I broke 3 sets of gears with my one-way before changing to a ball diff and I haven't broken any gears since, must have been going for about 5 months now.

Guys;
Just wanted to let everyone know that I too had a very successful weekend with my Pro-4.
Qualified 5th overall in Stock Sedan out of about 30+ entries and finished 3rd in the "A" main (Hitec Race).

I've been running a one-way the whole time, and I've also hit the wall on two occasions hard enough to bend 2 CVDs and the gears are still fine. I guess I'll call and get some free gears anyway. I recently purchased some extra bevel gears, part # 73501, just as replacements. Are these the newer versions too?
