, the other gears were fine (in my case). The thrust bearing had also collapsed.
I bought a new diff gear and a ball diff rebuild kit and the truck is now running better than it ever has! I am now using a 19t brushed modified motor with a 2S Lipo and still lifts the front wheels off the ground.
My advise would be, rebuild the diff and dial back on the power
Good luck!
Yeah I figured the motor be a bit much for that truck. I might get a better diff for the truck more heavy duty I bought a steel idler gear so I know that wont strip out again. We will just have to wait and see what happends.
