I talked to Luther for a while this afternoon about the new parts and when they come out, y'all are gonna dig it! I'm so excited to be affiliated with a company that works so hard to put out a top notch car and continue to develop new parts to make it even better.

Dear Luther and the Gang
I have been doing alot of research to solve Gears problems with the truggy (out of pitch for meshing) and now i have the procedure to solve this problem.Its been tried and tested.
The procedure is as follows ok read below
STEP 1 when putting the gearbox pinion and crown gear together you must shim the gearbox tight (not loose )what it means is that
when you turn the gearbox outdrives by hand they must be hard to turn so must be tight .
STEP 2 Then place the geabox into the Truggy or use a drill to grab the outdrives or run the truggy for about 1 hour at half throttle to wear in the
the crown gear to the pinion thus becoming a match .
Please Note (Do not run the truggy on the track at full throttle or you risk damage .Full throttle should be exercised when the
gears have been properly run in and the crown and pinion have properly meshed with each other .
it always better to run in your New gearbox before you put it on the track and go balistic
This procedure has been created because it seems the buggy crown gear has been used with the truggy 11 tooth pinion which dont match pitch is not correct.but this procedure seems to fix that problem so you dont blow diffs

One hour is a long time though but I guess worth it if you know its right.

there are some things that fail in a gearbox .
1st the shimming must be perfect for pinion and crown gear tight is always better because it will wear itself in.no pinion and crown gear are matches they have to be run in to match .
2nd Gear box cases can also be faulty with not coming together perfectly when screwed tight .
pinion outdrive bearings are also a problem when they of poor quality and can colapse and most kits these days come out with poor cheap bearings.
once a bearing colapses then the pinion detaches off course and thats when the teeth start to break off because of the alignment being off .
shimming is very important .
for example i had a guy break diffs in his nanda nrt-3 but also broke diffs in his kyosho and rc8t and many more so you cannot tell me that the problem is within the product .The problem is with the individual on some occations not all .
I think personally think that if you follow what i have put in place as a procedure then you will not have any problems.
like motors need to be run in so does the drive train its common sense .
not all pinions and crown gears are a match it is impossible you need to match them and the best way is to run them and wear them in .
i hope this helps
