Default stripping spur gear

Hi all

got a major problem with my thunder tiger sparrowhawk xxt I have changed the motor in my (xxt) another 540 motor that i got fro hobbyking it has a 5mm shaft, so i had to get some pinion with a 5mmshaft hole. when i mesh the gears and tighten them up and then test it, it strips the gear in seconds why is it doing this. i have gone through about 60 spur gears in 2 months this is getting stupid now. does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it.

gear mesh is not to tight or loose
if pinion has chip in some of its teeth would thst cause stripping to happen
could the motor be to powerful for the spur gear
no screws have come loosethat hold the motor mount or motor pinion
