I have a Hyper8 and have no trouble with stripping gears at all. I think using two gaskets is definitely what caused them to strip - only the tops of the gears were meshed. Do what linc said: use gaskets that will properly shim the diff internals and use large shims on the outside bearings (between the CD mount and CD) to take up the slack. Only two or three should need to be used.
