well, it's not an xmod so it should be in a diff section of the forum.

anyway, if it was a toy car then it's not likely you'll find a replacement easily. best bet is looking up the manufacturer and calling them up. i remember when i bought a toy rc by a brand called Nikko, they had a small mini catalogue thing to order spare parts for that model of the car. there's a chance they may still carry the parts for it even if it's old.

an alternative woudl be to find a couple gears matching that (probably with minor modding to fit the axle correctly) and glue it together.

Wouldn't you know the dimensions since you have it! It looks like the gear actually melted!

servo in my RC10 did the same thing to one of the gears, accelerating too fast. or motors running but the wheels arent turning
