Since I converted the transmission with mega torque gears so I could run the Maxxis Tires, I have had nothing but drivetrain failures.
The short list: Transmission bell housing bearing destroyed.
Front differential housing, bearings, pinion and ring gear destroyed.
Internal gears in the rear differential destroyed.
I rebuilt all areas of failures and had my first successful 45 minutes bash run yesterday.
I cleaned it up and inspected and notice the front differential bearings had some slop causing play on the pinion gear.
I would suspect that will be the first thing to fail again. I will continue to bash and see how long I have until it fails.
