Ok, so today i get my savage 25 going put a BRAND NEW SPUR GEAR in it, lock tight'd the mount bolts, did the fold the sheet of paper spur gear mesh trick, then also checked with my fingers to make sure it had slight play.
Drove it around had a blast, thanks to finally getting it tuned decent enough in the 23 degree weather. Drove great! I was very pleased with it. I have a Fail safe on it, so i turn my controller off and it applies the brakes. I let it sit there idling for maybe 2 minutes because my hands were freezing and i didnt feel like pulling the body off to pinch the fuel line to shut it off. So i go inside to look for gloves real quick, then i came out side, 2 seconds from pulling the body off to shut it down, the rev JUMPS!!!! Rev's up very very very high!!! so i pinched the fuel line, engine shut off, and i look down my spur gear only in one spot was chewed up.........................................................
Now this was a brand new spur gear, and i just drove it for a whole tank of gas, everything was fine, but i let it sit outside idling with the brakes on and the spur gets chewed??????? what could i have done wrong? Maybe it would have been fine if i didnt let it sit?
