I own one of the new drive trains and it is just a different feel. If you plan on just normal driving with a little more speed added you will probably be okay with what you have. I have not seen one implode but if it is a plastic governor that could happen but it really would have to be spinning. Not sure what speed that would be.. Mine has just been giving me problems starting and I just haven't figured out why yet but have noticed many other carts with the same setup doing the same thing.. If you are happy with yours, run with it.. We just have opinions, yours matters the most to you
