Big time congrats on the fix! It's a great feeling, isn't it? The wrenching and troubleshooting is a major part of a great hobby.

That's great!
That one of the reason I took out my reverse gears ,by doing so ,it relieved some of the rotating mass inside that relieved some of the tension
& pressure on the pins inside of tranny.
Also a lot has to do on the tension that your spur is set on the terrain you run on.
When I run my Mt out in the street ,I will loosen up my spur alittle because of the high torq. & high grip of my tires.
Too much on an off throttle out in the street with high torq & grip with out something giving will eventualy shear a pin!
But anyway ,I'm glad that you decided to dive off into it ,ts the best way to learn ,you also learn on any future issues
that may come.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I HAD to know! The cars were out of the garage so I fired little monster and away it went! Ran excellent, lots of torque and super responsive with a good little idle. Nice smoke as well. Busted out some donuts until the garage got too toxic and shut it off.
Looking forward to getting it out into the open ASAP.
Will most likely be purchasing the forward only kit here in the near future.
While I had the transmission out for the 3rd today I replaced the single disk brake with a vented disk brake. Excited to see how braking improves.?.
Cheers!

Got to stretch the legs on the Tmaxx today.. I'm pretty sure I royally screwed up the shift point. I remember torquing down the little screw inside before reassembly..
Looks like I'm ordering a new primary clutch assembly and a forward only conversion.
Sometimes, improvising a replacement part like your lighter spring works better than a OEM part.Lol...I did that on my mgt.,I tighten the screw all the way down an it messed up the tiny spring.
It now has a bic lighter spring in it now,works great!

Yea, I didn't know what I was looking before I started screwing it in ALL THE WAY.. lol
I wounder if a Bic spring would work for my application.?.
Its trial & error ,I think it took me 2 or 3 times to figure out what size to cut down
the little spring ,but it eventually worked.
It should work ,the traxxas hub looks similar size to the Mgt one!.
Nice! Well I will give it a try this weekend.
I just ordered a new primary clutch assembly off Amazon and picked up a fwd only conversion from my local HS.
Will report back this weekend.
Just not in reverse.Should be seeing a nice little difference in power, right?
Turned out to be a small pin that went through a gear and the shaft and was secured with a metal clip..
After a victory lap, I headed down the local HS and got myself a replacement pin and gear.
