sent it in to Mike last week to get a replacement....tried straightening it but didn't have much luck and didn't want to mess it up more
Not sure if he's gotten it yet but I haven't gotten an email or anything
Don't know what caused it but it might of been lawndarting the truggy from like 8ftup and 25ft out
Mike is awesome, service and parts warranty/replacement are awesome as well.
I did this to a Revo motor-mount...but Mike was awesome and replaced it!

The pinion was set back as far on the shaft as it would go, but it turned out not to be enough...due to the 1-1.5mm of rotor-float, the rotor floated out enough to let the pinion get into the aluminum part of the slipper and literally torqued the motor forward and sideways, taking the motor-mount with it, as well as taking out the spur-gear.
A new, shorter pinion solved the issue after Mike replaced the motor-mount.
Word to the wise...Novak pinions are crap, stick with Mike's Pinions or Robinson's pinions if Mike is out of stock.
