Ok my result of an HPI Pinion

I met up with a few people to bash the trucks.
I put on a brand new 17t HPI pinion.
I ran two sets of lipos through it yesterday... I ran one set on grass and one set on dirt doing jumps.
Today i ran twice. So two sets of lipos.
But before i was halfway through my secondset today, i could hear a wierd noise as if the gears were not meshed correctly...

This was the case but because of extreme wear to the pinion.

It shredded after 4 sets of lipos!!!!!!!!!!!
This is terrible!!!!!

I think i am going to have to start using a plastic spur! I can not continue to change pinions every 5 runs. It is so much effort ripping the truck apart ever 3 days!!!! I just do not have the time!
The truck runs absolutely amazing, tearing the grass up wherever... But its taking its toll on the gears.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? Novak pinion and a plastic spur?
