To chew up the spur gear? Asking for a friend because it happened. 
Been awhile I have loosened and tightened with no issues in the past cars.

Looks like it's time to replace the pinion.

That's ashame car is 10 minutes old . I looked pinion is fine, I think a metal spur problem solved.

Loosening the slipper shouldn't affect the gear mesh at all unless you really loosened it up. Was your mesh set properly? Did the drivetrain maybe get in a bind?

That's what I thought I am no slipper expert. (Arrma cars are my go to) loosened at most 1 turn from OEM settings. I never touched the mesh it seemed fine imo. No bind at all. Driven on my driveway debris free. When I get a new spur I will double check mesh and slipper etc on the bench with the cover off. Just disappointed my new car is down already.
RTR should stand for Ready To Rebuild and not Ready To Run. Never trust someone else's work, go over it yourself before running it.

I thought it was too tight and gave it 3/4 turn to loosen it. I am guessing the mess was off and or the motor screws weren't tight enough. Lesson learned all good. Just thew me off never happened on any of the 15 other cars I own.
