any ideas?
I dont want to shell out cash for the tekno stuff, but i might have to. Its been so bad i've been keeping 6-8 NEW losi spares on me to make sure i make it through a race day. I made it through sundays race and went to practice (to try to get my second back) yesterday and snapped one.
I have never had this issue, but I wonder if it has to do anything with your gearing? The only reason I say that is when I ran the 4300HD I went up 2teeth on the pinion to a 15-16 which would smooth out some of that bottom end power. With a 13t that thing would have crazy amounts of torque on the bottom. I could be way off base here, but just a thought. Are they breaking when you hammer the throttle from slow speeds?
