be happy that you found the problem
remember to mesh your gears correctly if you look on the hpi site it shows you the correct meshing. the t-15 is simple it just bolts straight on, but now you've got a team infinity with engine mounts you've got to adjust the c.b and spur gear mesh correctly over-wise they will strip

Here is my Hyper 8 with zip ties on the head. You can see it does not give absolute protection but does help. You have to keep replacing them as they will get snatched off.

I have an Ofna failsafe in my MT2 and Savage - works brilliantly, small in size and easy to configure. Just place it between your throttle servo and your receiver.

The Firestorm looks to be RTR only, unless they come out with an SS version later on (like the MT2 18SS).
