I didn't mention the reason I stopped filming the second video was due to a stripped center spur gear. I've had several runs at the track with no problems, but during this particular time I used a lot of braking to get around the corners. I use the motor brake so I'm thinking the gear stripped because of this?

I need some tips on racing around a track if you guys can help. What should my drag brake be set at?

Since I had to change out the kyosho gear I changed the stock diff oil from 10k to 30k. I'm leaving the front/rear at 5k for now, but I hear most use a thicker fluid in the front(thicker in front help get around corners better?). Also due to the hard landings I changed the rear shock oil to 70wt as well.
