I've had my Big Rock for over a year. Been through almost a dozen spur gears. Yes, I know how to set my gear mesh and slipper clutch.
I send the truck a lot but I almost always land on all 4 wheels. I drive it hard, but not abusively.
I've tried most of the solutions commonly recommended on the internet. My latest attempt was using the Hot Racing heavy duty motor mount, recommended by Funcentric's youtube channel. It seemed to work for a bit, but I just stripped another gear today. On a pretty low jump, too.
The only thing I haven't tried is M2C's $120 motor mount and chassis brace. I don't want to sink that kind of money into the Big Rock.
Does anyone know of any other solutions? I know the spur gear's only $6 but it's still frustrating having to keep replacing them. I'm also worried that using a metal spur gear will just cause the rest of the drivetrain to start falling apart.
