You can post to your album.

It'll probably be fine though, as long as you don't go berserk and you set the slipper clutch right.

Get a spare spur anyway, it's cheap.

I should have been clearer. Reduce the front skid angle. Stiffen the front suspension, 40wt is too soft.

Rear skid angle is to be increased, front of the skid being higher than the rear.

3rd place is pretty good, I'd be content if I were you.:lol:

This is a gigantic ripoff. No shop I've seen charges that much.

The wheel on the same axle should spin in the opposite direction. Jam the spur if necessary. The front axle sounds borked imo, strip completely and check, cleaning off the grease.

More grease will...

On one of these, you have no choice but to remove the body, which is a torturous process.

You could then jam the pinion/spur and rotate one axle and see if the other axle moves in the opposite...

True, although IME much rarer than a grooved tyre. I believe it depends on the specific tyre/surface combo. Also, the type of squeal is also different. Tends to be very brief and sharp. (IIRC)

I should warn you, anything with a tube style body is a maintenance and repair nightmare, with the exception of the Gatekeeper.

Use something very thin that evaporates away, like brake cleaner. It might be worth checking that your hinge pins haven't rusted.
