Do you know how old the Versaplanetary is, and if it's running with any sort of motor piloting feature?
We blew up a handful of the 100:1
2013 Spec Versaplanetarys due to a mixture of improper loading and bad motor alignment, but the 2014 Versa's should be significantly better.
Regardless, to get through events last season, we'd often run our versaplanets a little bit loose, and then began retrofitting a spacer that piloted the motor into the input, and that solved many of our problems.
