Okay so I recently started getting back into the RC hobby. After researching pre-owned savages in my general area (Calgary Alberta, Canada). I found a savage X 4.6 with a brand new dynamite ? big red Mach 2 .28 that was totally rebuilt from the ground up. All the hardware was replaced with stainless bolts and screws. And all major components were changed out with new parts. It was obvious that it was taken care of and done properly. After I finished breaking in the new engine and actually started driving it like a savage should be and putting the power to it I just shred plastic spur gears like they’re nothing. I think it’s been 5 in the last couple weeks. Every time took it out I would shred a spur gear. There was one time where maybe my meshing was a little loose because I was just trying something different after going through one or two. I’ve just ordered a metal spur gear from my LHS but now it’s a couple week wait until it arrives. It’s just been frustrating going through so many gears when I know that my meshing was okay. Engine mounts were tight and thread lock added. Could it be my clutch bell? It looks fine to me. But I don’t know. Just frustrating.
