Whats up guys. Finally got this running about 2 months back but the ESC dnf'd on it's second battery out. Super fast though. Got the ESC back a couple weeks ago and finally got some time to take it out to Revelation today. Ran great EXCEPT...

I went through 1 set of front bevel gears. First the pinion went (smaller gear) and then the ring went (larger gear). Replaced both of them and after another run I could start to hear the teeth slipping again. Took it off the truck to avoid further damage. Took the front diff out for the 3rd time today. Looks ok and still usable... BUT what the heck is going on? I moved one shim on the diff over ( 3 on 1 side now and 1 on the other ) to the ringer gear side hoping it would create closer mesh with the smaller pinion gear but I have not ran the car yet with this setup. Anyone have this problem or advice

Thanks!!
