You probly had the gear mesh too tight. Or the motor was getting so hot that it heated up the pinion, although if you did that , you probly demagnetized the motor. Either way props on the gew  |

You need a new motor mount with a larger bearing in it, such as one as made by King Headz.  http://www.kingheads.com/product_info.php?products_id=931 Due to an engineering oversight the bearing in the mount is too small and very problematic and susceptible to dirt and grime, it probably locked up and took out the spur and mount with it. Very common, and probably the only needed upgrade besides the new driveshaft cover which now covers the shaft near the slipper nut area. |

thankls for the info, the bearing seems to be fine, not sticky or hard spots or any thing. the sput gear itself just phisically melted, alumimum on plastic at WOT has alot of friction. the fact that i had an area i could run my truck WOT for as long as i wanted is the cause of my problem haha, i just thought it was funny that the gear melted no striped | |
