How long did the gears last?

[unaclocker]

@outbackautomotive A couple months. The failure point they had was where the pinion gears went onto the motors. I was able to epoxy them back onto the motors and got a few more weeks out of them. The problem was that this was an early design of gearbox, I never had any failures with the later gearbox design..

@outbackautomotive Funny thing is, I can take a later model gearbox that was 6v from the factory, and run it at 18v forever, it's faster than that truck was. I think I have video of it on here, it's the Barbi quad..

hey dad, ever thought of a helmet??

[outbackautomotive]

@unaclocker I figured that would happen. I had the same problem with an RC truck I had years ago. I blew 3 ring gears and finally the case blew up. You could hear the same gear scream of death! LOL
