If I set the mesh between the bevel gears tighter, will I eliminate my problem
Brushless 13.5 is on the way after Christmas!
Waltrip,
if you are at Trackside on New Years day come see me and I will help you shim your front gearbox so it won't strip your bevel gears. I use to run a TB Evo III and I was able to fix the front so it would not strip, even when I ran 19 turn. One thing you might want to try and find is the square aluminum gear box. its not TCS legal but you should run all the time except during the TCS race. This will also help keep the front end from striping bevels.
