stripped trans. -
11-27-2005, 08:55 PM
hey guys I have a t-maxx and one day I was driving it and my spur gear stripped. so I decided to put a robinson racing hardened steel gear on that the hobby town recommended and it striped out my internal gears. so I had them replace the gears and this time I took 5 tanks of break in to get the gears used to running and then when I went to pull a wheelie the gears stripped. so I had the gears replaced again but put on the stock spur gear. I again did the 5 tank break in process and they stripped out. so im going to send it to traxxas to fix.
anyways the reason I posted this is to see if this has happened to anyone else and if you were me what would you do? thanks, traxxas thrasher

Hmm. this is why I am so against steel spurs!(even though I run one) If I were you and wanted to make the tranny bulletproof and never have to look at it again(except for a greasing every once in a while) I would buy the UE super6 and otb 2speed gears

wow, thats wierd, must be the steel spur, cuz i have had 5 2.5s in two different maxxes and never had any problem with the trans, my uncle did though, when he first got it he went through like 4 trans's in like 7 tanks, i was with him two he wasnt driving hard at all, he actually blew 2 trying to break it in. i think that traxxas has a bad batch of things every once in a while, because my dad has a tmaxx and the motor that came in it only lasted about a half a gallon. then the next one almost has 3 thru it and no problems yet, i have a 2.5 that has i think about 7

7 what? yea your right they do have a bad batch every once in a while like when I got it I barely hit a curb it was going about 10 mph and the whole front end snapped off. so I bought new ones and bashed the he!! out of it and they havent broke yet so yea your right.
