That dragster ,it looks like it has open gears ,a pebble could had jammed them at high speed!
I had that happen on my nitro basher truck but was not a gear ,it was a 40 dollar MIP Super duty axle ,a rock got
wedged in between the spoke of the wheel an wheel hub ,the truck went from full WOT to a dead stop an snapped
the bone cup where the pin goes in at ,I was pissed because they are expensive an hard to find parts!

The spur and pinion were open, by but those aren't what broke . The transmission gears and outdrives are what broke

LOL...I am not saying that is what happen ,I was just saying ,pebbles an debris has been know to wreak havoc on spurs & bell
gears in all of the RC world ,but so does massive torque being unleashed!...

I can see that happening especially if the rock fell between the 2 speed gears. Which I’m sure there probably running for drag racing.

That street drag racing does wicked things to the drive train ,when I run my nitro truck out in the street goofin off an
getting wild with the donuts an on & off throttle it puts a strain on the running gear ,I always make sure that I adjust
my slipper clutch a little on the loose side ,however ,there is none on 5th scale that I am aware of!

Well got some more goodies talk about fast shipping. But they need to update the images on there website. The picture on website shows a solid spur on the 20/54 that doesn't need the gear carrier. Then I get this and see I need to buy a gear carrier

just waiting on motor to get here and I will start tearing this apart. Considering a new pipe but I will wait and see how it is first. the gear carrier was the second mistake I made this week , I guess I better slow my roll and take my time.
I didn’t even notice that, guess that’s on me.
