| My parts arrived today!!! Thanks again, slobin3d!!! Only one problem, when I went to move the engine forward to accommodate a smaller spur gear, I noticed one of 4 engine bolts was stripped. I'm now workin on gettin it out, then I'll have to make a trip into the city to find a new one Like I always say, if it ain't one thing, it's another! Hopefully I'll get to the city tomorrow!!!

I know they don't hold any value, and that's why I figured I'd keep it. If I could get $300 for it ( :laughing: ), I'd sell it right now!!! Hey Dezrik, doesn't it always happen that way: ;) Pyro |

Hey slobin3d, are all spur gears the same, as in, are all 50-52 tooth spur gears compatible with my MGT? I must have had the tension on the spur gear too tight (I guess). I just melted that gear I got from you. The set screw holdin the throttle linkage came loose upon landin, then the engine raced til I got to it, to find the spur gear all f***d up. It's time to upgrade to a metal spur gear. Thanks, Pyro |

the spurs are made for your truck, so a traxxas 52 wont fit a mgt. Although they do look similar.

Great! I appreciate your response! Do you have any 50-52 tooth metal spur gears? If so, how much? RCSuperstore has one that is supposed to fit all 4.60 applications for $14.99 I've been blowin through them like nobody's business! Thanks! Pyro | |

Are you meshing the gears right?, I usually use a piece of paper between the spur and pinion gear
