Still seems to me that some how the brake was being applied and then the throttle glitched. Maybe i just can't comprehend it but i dont see the engine revving as loud as it did just because there was no load on the engine. All the other times I've stripped spur gears it was because maybe my motor mount screws were loose or if my mesh was wrong and i would be driving and suddenly hear it strip the gears. Where in this case every thing seemed to run properly besides the truck running at its absolute best. But Even if a few teeth were broke out i can't see just a few teeth causing the engine to rev so high. Also in person i can hear like just the engine revving then after about a second or 2 of revving i then heard the spur gear strip.
It seemed to me... that the spur gear was actually being held somehow still and the engine i believe was infact strong enough to start to strip the teeth. I mean they make these plastic gears with an actually pretty soft plastic i literally can just gently rub a flat head screw driver on them and plastic just shaves away with no pressure at all.
I know your saying the engine isnt strong enough to strip the teeth alone, but i mean it happened some how... I know my mesh was correct because after i shut it off and spun the spur gear around on the good side where the teeth are still in good condition it was spot on.
*EDIT* guess ill just drive this for the mean time
