That's pretty much what happened to me, gear mesh was actually really good, pinion was brand new and I got less then 10 minutes from It, the motor didn't even move, nothing was loose. It just simply stripped. Not a single sign of giving up. It just stripped .
I've had less then one race meet on my 3.0e so far... Yes! Less than a race meet! And I'm already having 2nd thoughts on the car, it's not the best car I've ever driven, but it really doesn't suit my driving style, and I've already had some problems with it... Stripped the plastic spur in 5 minutes, already had some loose screws, had a front shocks drop it's oil everywhere... It's really not what I expected it to be, maybe that's why there's only 5 losi drivers here, one being a factory driver, and even one of those people is selling his for Mugen... I might even keep my mugen gear and run nitro again.....
