I’m kind of disappointed, I know 6s is too much power for this car, so I knew it wouldn’t last, but the way it broke surprised me. I was hoping it would go out in a blaze of glory, instead it was hardly pushing 80 mph. I was only in a testing mode, gradually increasing throttle. At first I was sure I blew a diff but looks like one of the spur screws backed out and caused absolute havoc (see below teardown pictures).
Specs are: Spektrum 2800kv motor on Spekrum 150 amp esc, 32 pinion 0.8 mod, spur is hot racing 50t 0.8 mod steel (this kit is where the screws and washers that failed came from)
Should I try to just get new screws. Or upgrade the entire set to mod 1? Anyone know where I can get replacement screws or do I just need a whole new spool? Perhaps some blue lock tite next time?
