Between all the members out there who have either changed to new 4.10 Richmond's with success or with failure. Has there been failures in the last 2 months?
I want to see if I get a replacement set would I suffer the same fate or do you think the issue was corrected by Richmond with newer units.
Please give me your thoughts... Reading all the Blogs I have found 17 cases on the board from different members who state failures, ( myself included ) but they all had there issues around July of 2010, +/- ( same time i bought mine )

I spoke with the Richmond customer svc rep at the PRI show last month.He said those gears were not supposed to be raced or beat on. He also told me they have a new special hardend 410 gear for street and strip usage.I called him yesterday and he said all testing went OK and they would be out in the next week or two.Just thought you all would like to know this if you did not already.
