Default Mini-t stripping gears like CRAZY!!!

hello,
I have a mamba powered mini-t and just yesterday i stripped out 3 of those little plastic gears that are between the diff and metal gear that the slipper is attached to. Can anyone help me out with why i am stripping it like crazy. this has never happened before.

Thank you!!

I just stripped mine out with a 3s 5400kV combo. It was suggested to me to get an aluminum gear box to cut down on flex and heat. I have yet to do any testing to see if it worked, waiting for the threadlock to cure on the pinion. [link]http://thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_details.lasso?id=6396&cat_name=[/link]

Interesting...................

I run 2s lipo and a Tekin 8000kv with a MIP Ball Diff. I haven't had any problems with stripped gears.

no i dont have pics. it may just be my gear housing like you said. The housing is about 3-4 years old so its farting dust. i also noticed my whole dual disk slipper clutch has a lot of play in it.
