That's the slipper clutch, it looks like you will need a new spur gear along with the friction pegs. I like to run all of the pegs, other people prefer to run a peg in every other hole. When you replace it tighten the nut all the way down and then back it of 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn.

so basicly a whole new slipper clutch and how can i keep from burning it out i don't wanna sped 15 bucks everyday for one lol

Your slipper clutch is probably still good, just the spur gear and friction pegs. You have to keep the slipper tight but not too tight, if it's too loose it will melt the spur gear and if it's too tight you could damage your trans or axles.

Here, click on exploded views and it will give you the break down for your truck (as long as it's a Stampede).

A little removable locktite on the nut will keep it from backing off. The gear is melted from the slipper slipping excessively.

...Or just get a new nut, since the nylon has likely been burned out.

Just get some new stock parts and keep an eye on the slipper slippage.

Alright big spur make a diffrence?

A bigger spur will give more low end torque but less top speed.
