I've never seen a pinion ground down like this. Does anyone know what happened?

Have not taken it out yet.that’s crazy picture of the spur?
Check the spur/driveline before making an order…
It is the extreme power of the Kraton combined with a bad mesh? Wow I never seen anythingn like that either, is that aluminum?I've never seen a pinion ground down like this. Does anyone know what happened?View attachment 293606View attachment 293607View attachment 293608
It was advertised as "steel" It ran well for awhile there then this, might have been bad mesh...It is the extreme power of the Kraton combined with a bad mesh? Wow I never seen anythingn like that either, is that aluminum?

Wound suck to pay for shipping more than once!
+1Those are cheap soft , bought a set of 3 or 5 incremental teeth sizes for an infraction when I first started running hobby grade 6S rigs last year. First one looked like that after the initial bash with a weak RTR on-road infraction. Never again, arrma D-safe are worth their tag but still have limitations with high RPM/torque motors.
What does the spur look like, probably rounded enough of a radii on the tooth peaks rendering it useless as well.
Safe-D pinion went 4.22 0-60mph on grass, it’s fine for 99.9 percent of these guys+1
I find the Safe-D pinuions to be absolute crap. You can buy some from JennysRC for like $3.00 a pair. They are not even worth the $3.00. Don't do it. Spend the coin on Tekno's. Don't cheap out on pinions. It's a critical part of the hobby if you are serious about your rigs. FWIW, I noticed the spur gear on mine was in perfect shape. That tells me the Stocker pinions are soft cheap RTR JUNK!!!! And toss the crush sleeve and clip while you are at it. Useless liability if anything.
I said it before. Trust me on this.
