. So I decided to still run it since the shop didn't have a replacement. I still jumped the quad from time to time in the 2nd qualifier & crashed a couple times. Luckily I didn't have any further issues arise from running the broken part. In the main I was able to take it easy and build a good lead & didn't need to quad the jump. But eventually 2nd place caught up to me & I choked it on the last lap & finished 2nd. But the broken gearbox held up. I don't like running a broken part but hopefully Tekno gets this part situated soon.
I was thinking about heading over to ierc soon, I've never driven there. How many people raced 1/8 buggy and what tires did you run?
