Stuff that has broke on the Redcat Racing Ground Pounder Updated 07/18/15

My personal Ground Pounder

Received 02/13/14

2 spur gears

Burnt through a spur gear my fault as I believed RedCat's description of the stock pinion being mod .6 turns out it is standard 48 pitch .

Second was due to a over tight slipper , a 17 tooth pinion and running a lipo battery. Big hard wheelies are fun but not reccomended with the stock set up.

1 Motor

The arm that hold and applies pressure to one of the brushes broke . Turns out the stock setup has the motor rotating backward to its intended design I blame this falure on this strange choice .

3 shock mount

Landed right rear wheel coming off a jump . 
I don't recommend landing with the nose of the truck pointed straight up.

4 drive shafts 

After installing the Brushless system from the Twister XTG I promptly destroyed both the front and the Rear driveshafts since I left all the ESC setting at default driveshaft upgrade is planned.

This vehicle is not owned by me it is owned my my step father who is new to this hobby and is loving every minute of it. My hope is to keep track his breakages with this post and maybe help a future buyer with their spare parts list.

1 Motor

Seems driving in deep snow pulls to many amps 
through the brushes and burnt the com up . Upgrade is being pondered .  Correction by using polishing compound on the com to clean it up a bit and then following the water break 'in method the motor is back in action .
