Default RR10 bomber front spool breaking

Hi, i have a RR10 bomber kit running on hobbywing 3660 and 3S that keeps breaking front spools.

I broke the stock locker first, then i bought what i am pretty sure were some hot racing spools, broke one after a while, then i loosed the slipper clutch a bit and installed my second one.

My second one lasted a bit longer but finally broke again the same way as the other, on the rectangular port where the axle shaft get in.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjU5VB8wXXw3phpN...Zcjv0?e=CaT3cm

Any recommendation on how to fix this?

Would the vanquish spool fix my problem or i should loook elsewhere?

thanks!

Locked up RC FI spool, which stands for ****ing Indestructible.

If you break that before the axle shafts, you need driving lessons...

Wow, that's not too common of a break. I've had great luck using locked up rc's F.I. spools, much tighter fit on the shaft tangs (as compared to the Incision or Hot Racing spools) so they don't get all hammered out.

If you want to go bigger, there's always the option of switching shafts and spool to either Vanquish's VXD https://www.vanquishproducts.com/vxd...ge/?fullSite=1 or better yet, Dlux's FBA as both of them use larger diameter shafts and corresponding spools https://dluxfab.ecwid.com/#!/FBA-FRO...tegory=6232189 That's pretty much the end of the road for bolt on.

I saw the locked up RC FI on pictures the other day and yess they seem pretty tough design!

Im just wondering if theres not a problem elsewhere...

Does not seem normal to break those spools on a 3660HW motor and 3S lipo...

Can my steering trim going too far could damage the spool like this?

How do the sides blow out like that with it being inside a bearing? There should be some pretty tight tolerances between the 2.

I have vanquish in mine and haven't had issue.

when you jump these rigs and have some wait behind them strange stuff happens but thats definitly a odd failure i would replace the entire assembly gears locker and shafts with new bearings and ether upgrade the housing to hold bigger bearings or use a thrust bearing on the inside pinnion to help with the shock loads from hard landings if the problem keeps happening like mine did on my wraith you might want to upgrade to metal axle housings i havent had any issues since going with potmetal axle housings and the big bearing mod or the thrust bearings the thrust bearing will eventualy ware out the pinnion shaft and cause the pinnin to get sloppy but it takes more than a year and running in dirty muddy water to be noticable

Just curious;
What steering knuckles do you have on the Bomber?
If Hot Racing throw them away and buy another brand.
I went with The Scale Shop camber knuckles.

I got a VP stage 1 set on right now but I went with the Scale Shop brass knuckles for my winter upgrade spree
