Tore the car car down to kit form this week and put back together. Whatever bug was in it seems to have gone away (I Hope) . Thanks to everyone for the help as well as the criticism. Believe it or not both were taken in the best way. I was able to get a good baseline tune in it today and am happy to report all was done on the same spur gear. I am truly sorry for my hostility in previous post's. But I don't think you can fathom how ridiculous it all seemed to me. Thanks again to all of you that chimed in .

front bumper
strongly recommend front bumper carbon brace or run a t3 bumper assembly.
went to a different track today with steel square tube piping. nosed into pipe through chicane and munched bottom deck. wasn't even a big hit.
home track has plastic piping and no issues as they must give a bit.
should have changed earlier my fault lol.

So, let me contribute what we at our track (Al Sodano discovered this) believe may be *one* of the reasons a few people are shredding spur gears:
When running a 92T spur with certain pinions the motor can press into the top deck when it flexes causing the pinion to temporarily move away from the spur.
Anyone having this issue should give a 96T spur a try and make sure there is some clearance between the motor and the top deck. (When running 17.5-13.5 I only run a 96T spur because I like the placement of the motor in the chassis.)
If you prefer to run a 92T spur you could try dremeling some of the material away from top deck near the motor.

which do you prefer ?the steel solid out drive or composite? by switching from stock solid to a diff I need to add the plastic.pieces to the dogbone. kind of an extra step. especial doing so in the field. if Iswitch the solid outdrive to steal I can save this extra step. how good is the steel oitdrive ? pro and con !

Their larger diameter means blades don't wear out as quickly, which saves quite a bit of money over time.

The spring steel out drives are sufficient. Im 20 packs in on my current blades and the wear has been very small while running a 4.0.

Always seemed a waste that the Xray outdrives never used all the available surface area of the blades
