All the teeth are still intact and wearing evenly. It does make sense that the smaller pinion gets more wear, but I'm kinda limited with what I can use. I'm currently using a Neu 1515 1.5D and the 13T is perfect for my bashing style (15T in this truck would probably be closer to optimal, but I push the throttle pretty hard when the going gets rough and it gets hot). I've got my motor mount in there pretty tight and there is no flex to it, though I do land jumps on the throttle. I know it's hard on things but I'm still inexperienced with jumping my Muggy and if I don't throttle it I end up nose-diving.

So you guys think I should order another RC-M hardened gear and try my luck again? My mesh was slightly loose, but not bad enough that the gear would slip out--the mesh was set just loose enough to keep from frying my ESC.
