Well, you'll just have to upgrade to the metal gears for the ring & pinion and buy the metal transmission and gear set (don't buy just the metal gears as when i did one of the gears arrived bent and worthless out of the package - sorry to say). Good luck!

@@Idontdohandles i think that as long as you don't abuse it it's gonna run fine.

I didn't abuse mine at all. Very normal driving for a truck. I was not bashing or even thrashing!!! I was not even rock crawling when the pinion in the pumpkin stripped!

@@Idontdohandles i went mine to the beach and i slammed that gas button A LOT i even got it rolling a few times after the cleaning it was absolutely fine
