Obviously original gears were not up to the job as I'd built everything - including slipper correctly.

Hoping new gears last a lot longer. Front is still ok on original gears.
Andy rebuild with the new bits from the upgrade kit. The new 35T diff bevel gear is spaced to push the internal diff gears closer together, so they sold last longer. I blew a rear diff internal gearset at RHR dirt the other week, which considering it's been in use every week since xmas using original kit (unmodified parts) isn't bad. I rebuilt with the free upgrade parts, so hopefully should keep me running for a while.


I also blew an outdrive at RHR dirt (my own fault). The new upgraded v2 parts are a lot beefier so hopefully that fault is fixed now as well.
