I agree that it's probrably not too wise to put too too much power through a 20 year old Optima drivetrain. Earlier this year I broke a few teeth off of a gear whilst running with a 13x2 motor in the Salute at Eden Park.
I guess it probrably happened in a landing, as there's no real slipper or even ball diff to soak up any shocks to the driveline. Oof.
Luckily I found a replacement part on Ebay pretty easily, but i kept me off the road for a few weeks. Bummer!
But I'm back on the road now, and it's running great.
