I just got a highroller 1/10th scale and the first run I found out it was sent with a broken rear diff so the store gave me a new one and it ran great the first half of its first run, then the motor moved and chewed many spur gear teeth. So I need to replace it now, does anyone know if there is a very good upgrade spur gear I can get for it?? Also could my problems be steming from a slipper clutch not adjusted properly?

No, the problem is stemming from the fact that your motor moved. Stock spur is fine, just make sure your motor is tightened down properly and you have the proper mesh between spur and pinion. For slipper adjustment, here's what works for me - tighten down all the way then back off 1 full turn. That should get you pretty close.

Thank you I know that probably seemed simple for you but im rusty I've been out of rcs for a while.....ill tell ya what I used to think losi was the best but im having doubts now, I fixed what u suggested and it ran great for a while then started hearing bad news in the tranny and after stripping down the tranny case I've got a completely demolished idler and im running stock everything plus the fact that my esc will cut power from overheating after lee than three mins run time.....do u stay losi loyal or have a company u suggest to switch to for a nice monster truck that's not over 300$
