Bit contradictory...
I have to say that most who run brushless find the stock idlers wear out fast, or the teeth come off. Then when you throw in the steel idlers, the lower gears will loose teeth. Maybe you are not jumping the truck, or have the slipper set loose. Or you are running stock tires on a lower grip surface. I broke many parts, and so have a bunch of people. Run larger tires, jump with a tigher slipper, or just run on the street hard. I can break most things on the street, good traction and plenty of power will do that.
Plus, I would like to point out that if the velineon motors were that powerful, they would snap the 1/8 shafts. i do realize there are 2 of them... They are only feigao s can motors after all.
Smaller motors have less torque, and torque breaks stuff. Run a kb45 motor in something and you will see why they have a 6mm shaft...
