Guys i keep ripping up my spur gear on my 3.3 tmaxx.. The fist time it happened it was because the engine mout hardwear backed off. But now i strip a gear almost ever time i go out. I have threadlocked all the hardwear and made sure the spur and the bell gear are tight but not to tight. I did space them with a pice of paper ...would anyone know why this keeps stripping.
theSlipper is also be set right

How long have you owned nitro vehicles? I only ask because WhenI first started out i was doing the same exact thing. Now I don't. I dont know what I do differently. I just chaulk it up to being more experianced. or it could be shock to your tranny. something binding in the drive train, or your landing jumps on the throttle.

it could be not properly adjusted in the carb and maybe he's just trying to floor the car by pulling the triger to make it go now then try to gradualy get it to go. eveybody knows about the old .15 nice motor it handled ok till when ppl got use to it.....then pow! 2.5 come out and ppl r thinking wow a faster motor....yea a lil better, but with out stoping there thx came out with the 3.3.
well to answer that Q?

2.5R has more power in a small mid size block
