^^ good point there. make sure everything else is sound.

I have checked the motor mount where the bearing fits in and it has no play. That was my first thought. Where can I get decent lock washers? I haven't tried them. My screws are long enough and not stripped.

I am using the Kyosho plastic spur. I'll have to try to get some good photos of my setup.

I used to strip plastic gears also occationally. Just run the steel spur gear with the RCM extra hard pinion gears and you will not have nay more problems. Promise. I havent had a single problem since I switched and I have never looked back.

There are some that swear the plastic gears are just as durable as the steel gear setup, but I think they are just kidding themselves. The plastic works great if everything is ideal, but the steel will stand up to more abuse.
