Traxxas Spur Gear 0.8P 68T E-Maxx/E-Revo/Summit TRA3961

So I got a brand new Brushless E-maxx with a dual 3s 5000mah battery set and was anxious for my first run. Like any normal person, I completely ignored the manual and warnings during the unboxing. The batteries were charged and I was ready to tear up my yard. My buddy warned me that I should break in the transmission before ripping it on full throttle, Again, like any normal person, I completely ignored his warnings. I drove it slowly for the first 10 minutes to get the hang of how the truck handles, then I figured that was enough of a break-in period and decided to unleash the beast! The raw power and torque of the truck were absolutely exhilarating... for about 5 minutes. For some reason the truck completely stopped moving, the motor roared, but the truck was stagnant. Naturally, I was very upset and prematurely started badmouthing Traxxas about how their overpriced products don't even last 30 minutes without breaking down. I took the truck inside and started to search for the root of the problem. I unscrewed the transmission case and found a completely mauled and melted spur gear. The slipper clutch got so hot that it melted a perfect circle in the center of the gear, and the pinion gear finished it off. This is when I decided to thoroughly read the manual to find out the cause of the damage. Apparently you have to break in the slipper clutch with a Ni-Cad or 4s power system, and tighten the slipper clutch after the break in period. Thankfully, I only broke the spur gear and I was relieved to find it on R/C planet for under 3 Bucks! I immediately ordered it and had my truck running again in under a week. Haven't had problem with this spur gear since! I hope my story has helped you in some way, Good Luck!

Dont forget to set your mesh if it's to tight this strips easy.

good quality and good price

Perfect replacement.

And they cost under 5 bucks a piece, so I bought a bunch.
