So here is a complete list of CARNAGE as @MaddogMikeD would say ?

I figured out that the Pinion/spur damage was caused by the motor shaft slipping out and pushed the pinion beyond the spur. The bearings seemed possibly OK, but they were replaced with FE Ceramic Rubber Shielded bearings just in case. I got questioned for the bread trick. My GF was puzzled and didn't believe me until I showed her. ??

Kraton 4S Carnage:

• K4S body is shot
• Spur
• Pinion
• Motor bearings
• Front skidplate
• 2 x Front bumpers
• Chassis - the front bumper ridge busted out when I landed on a rock
• Both rear hubs, one at a time
• Wheelie bar brace
• Shock end cap (not pictured below)

Granite 3S Carnage:

• Motor cap screws came out, but motor looks fine otherwise.

While I’m just south of the border into Ohio, I can tell you that your best bet is a rural country road with minimal trees and ditches. Try to find a spot with a nice flat straight stretch. It’s pretty easy here in Ohio as we pave all our country roads, where I know Michigan tends to leave theirs just gravel. You can also try to find a distribution center that isn’t closed in. Not sure if your near a city or rural. Let me know if that helps or not.

Yeah I know of a couple spots in Michigan that are ideal but depending on where you are.

Genesse here.

Sooo...I bought a new pinion as recommended..... Couple of high speed passes across the field behind the house, esc at 100 f.
... Going to have to revisit dif fluids to try for more even traction as the nose won't come up at all

Throttle control is needed. That extra speed isn’t usable off the rip. It’s for in air correction. Otherwise you have to moderate your pulls. Only so much will get to the ground. Beyond that, it’s a waste

 

[Droste78]

Yeah...was so used to being able to give it some go from slow and the front end would come up....it's a completely different animal ?
Might have to give those lp backflips a go, see if they assist with grip at all. ?
