The motor mount area would flex enough for the spur gear to strip. There was so much forward mass on the motor mount that when the motor revved it would send torque down to the chassis.

Ah, I use a regular MX3. Time for a Spektrum :)

The reason you're having a harder time stripping them is your gearing. You have wide-ratio gears and a 19T pinion. I use std ratio and a 17T. I want to get the wide ratio and see if I like that better (more top end).
