RCM Pinion idea

[kneedeeppow]

i have been using rcm 14t and 15t pinions in my brushless mooge since its creation about three months ago.i have been breaking quite a few pinions.one was due to my motor mount being loose but the others have been a bit odd.nothing loose,nothing bent.after taking my trug away on holiday with me where i got to do alot of driving and tweaking the set up i noticed a possible issue with the smaller pinions. they are hollowed out in the center which makes them weak and the teeth prone to snapping off. i broke my last available 15t two weeks ago and put in a 17t which doesnt have the hollowed out center section.since installing the 17t it hasnt missed a beat.the trug has taken some mean hits(the 8 metre kicker at arccc is vicious) and the pinion has held up far beyond what the smaller ones did.
maybe making the smaller pinions without this hollow area will make them alot more durable? just a thought
