K so I got the gear in, it's an integy not a rovan (dude on fb flaked out ?). And I put it all back together annnnnddd









It seems like it is fixed. The gear mesh looks good, it doesn't go from tight to loose, and there's no tight spots, seems consistent. So , I think the hostile gears are made wrong, and the center hole is off centered on some of the gears, and that this integy one has the hole centered. I'll get pics of the mesh soon ? just thought I'd update. Time will tell weather that was the issue, but I don't believe the clutch bell is the problem after all . Sorry for all the drama and BS on this thread ?‍♂️? Doug you can go clean that ? up ?
Hers the mesh

Just for a rip an it went well , did like 30 mins ? I also recorded some video for yall, it's 16 mins long ? so I've got some editing to do ? bashed it pretty good, plenty of crashes since I don't know how to let off the throttle ?‍♂️? and it took it. Popped the gear cover off and the spur shows no signs of wear ?

Your welcome.
 
Noticed my header bolt done backed off again ???????????
So a mate if mine in fb suggested that I make a stud, the double nut it and it won't fail. So I did just that, and we will see how it works out ? and no I'm not a cheap ass, I can afford probably 10x of them (have a secret stash of $$) , I would buy the mip kit, but I really do not want to wait for USPS, so I did this , took an hour or 2 . If it fails yet again then mip will be the only answer.

The nylon in the nuts will probably melt bro.
 
Yeah so hopefully I'll have it fixed asap ?was the most fun break tho ????
Damage report, it's not the bellcrank, it's the servo saver arm, totally feked. And the upper front arm has broke too ?‍♂️ so guess I'm going to have to order parts. Good learning experience, now I know that I need a wheelie bar and throttle control ?‍♂️?
