Hi, I brought the savage x gt-6 for my first nitro truck (mad I know)
After running the engine in it kept over heating and the exhaust kept melting, after sending it back to the supplier they found a crack some where and sorted the problem.
Iv ran the car with a good few tanks of fuel now and seems to be running really well however I have had to replace the spur gear twice. it just seems to shred the teeth after a few runs.
The car wasn’t changing gear either but the supplier just advised me not to worry to much about this it might of been a case of me not noticing the gear change.
However after I took the truck out today It seemed to be running smooth then i noticed it changed gear a few times then just stopped driving. I soon realised it was a clutch problem and after taking the clutch bell off I realised the clutch shoes were completely shredded and just wanted some advise as to why this would happen was going to just by upgraded shoes but thought there must be an issue for this to happen.
Iv attached a picture because that’s all that was left when I took the clutch bell off
