Default Re: 4200XL gearbox failure out of the box?

Found some culprits. Negative ESC wire not in the powerblock. Not 100% sure if it was this way to begin with or while I pulled the electronics out, either way was probably the motor problem. Big issue is the planetary's are thrashed, debris and gear teeth everywhere. Hoping to get some new ones sent to me.
Tracks seem to be a bit tight, could this cause this much damage? I'm used to r/c tanks having some slack in the tracks, same on heavy equipment? Does have spring loaded idlers.
