So I was out and about with the BB revo and shortly after it warmed up
And I got the tune half decent it just started free revving, narrowed it down instantly to gear box as the shafts weren't spinning and the spur gear was. After pulling it apart this is what I found... Any ideas how this would of happened? I'm guessing a stuffed bearing...

Iv fudged it back together for now, I don't use it too often so it should last a little while. I cleaned it out and tried cleaning up the teeth on the gear that's still intacted. I had an old 1st gear handy which I swapped out after I put the BB in so yeh. And threw in a new bearing.
 
Have you finally broken in that Lrp? ;)
