Devastator, the only reasons I see for your spur teeth stripping like that are 1- Inproper mesh adjustment or 2- some debris that got in there and ruined the teeth. but the most probable cause is 1 usually... And any spur gear will do this if improperly set. Once set (whatever the method you use, paper, etc...), you have to make sure the motor and pinion are nicely clamped down (won't move). You should have a very slight bit of loose in the mesh without any binding! The less play the better (but remember no binding!) Also important, is check the mesh all round the spur gear! Sometimes they aren't perfectly round so if you set the mesh at the closest spot, when the spur turns, on the other side mesh is incorrect. You just need to check this quickly; it's easy.
Hope this helps!

It's lasted me around 3-4 hours of use.
Has everyone else just bought the associated one again? I've seen this RW Racing one on MK Racing, does anyone know if they are any better? (They cost more)
