During the last drift meet, the steering jammed up after going over the track marker... and spur gear was worn out...
Didn't have tools on site to dismantle the car so managed to find some time to check on it...
Noticed that the front left wheel didn't turn smoothly....
So, opened up the left hub....
Realised that the universal joint broke... which caused the steering arms to get in the way of the spur gear and in turn... worn out the spur gear... :'(
This is the previous set of 48.5mm from Eagle Racing as well...
Here's a close up of the "crack"
This time round, I've ordered 2 sets of the universal shafts in case it breaks again!
No idea why it keeps breaking... could it be due to no servo saver in place to absorb the shock of the wheels going over the track markers?
Sounds possible... maybe I should add a servo saver into the OTA-R31...
Here's how the poor spur gear looks like now... :D
Ordered a spare for this too...
Meanwhile.... the Street Jam OTA-R31 shall take a break while waiting for parts...
Thanks for reading!
