V3 kraton with leopard 1480kv motor. I keep breaking front and rear diff main gears. I have my diffs shimmed. They are shimmed internally and i have 2 shims on outside next to bearing. I have even tried 3 shims. I have tried just the one shim! I have gone through 3 main gears in 4 batt packs. Two front diff gears and one rear. Running 100k 500k 100k. I recently added a couple blobs of 500 to the 100k diff fluid to try and take some power off the front diff being that one is breaking more often. (I didnt have any other diff fluid on hand so i just wanted to try it as i was replacing ANOTHER main gear on front diff) The input gears have no slop. I tightened the cup against them so there is no play. I just keep chipping teeth on the big gear! Is there any other better gear out there that i can run? Is this motor just too damn harsh for this truck? With the arrma political garbage are the replacement gears made of trash? This is getting pricey and not fun when i cant get though one battery pack. Im not even jumping this thing yet. Im driving it across my lawn! Really like the power of this motor but if this truck cant handle it forget it. Il get the tekno mt. I always run 6s. Any ideas? Thanks, Dave
