Curious what it was supposed to look like. Post a pic of a new one when you get it.
Will do. Here is the one I ordered. It is very slightly different than the one that broke but you can see in this one the part that completely broke off somehow.

Redcat isn't known for their durability. Kind of a "give the hobby a try" type of product.
But that's it. The gear that broke wasn't Redcat. To be honest I haven't had any Redcat parts break besides the clutch springs and the original gears before I replaced with steel gears. I never expected that gear to break like that though. The teeth get ate up a bit maybe but not the 2 speed clutch to totally sheer off that hunk of metal.
 
I guess you need to find a second gear with that pawl made out of admantium like Wolverine's claws and skeleton. lol
