When you were running it hard was that with the 15T pinion? If so I would re-gear with the 12T and run it hard again. That will give you a better idea if it is caused by gearing.
I broke one of my straps that hold the motor to the plate...so I am currently making another one.

when i rant he 12t i had it slid all the way on too. so that the end of pinion was right close to the can. i am sure it will be fine but i thought that because i had it slid on so far that is where the stress came from and that it might stress it less if it wasnt slid down on the shaft so far. idk, just my thoughts but i know the 12t can work. be sure to post what kind of temps you see when you get yours running.
when i hit the hot temps i was using the 15t. i am gonna try some other pinions and see what happens. i did do some tests with both the 12t and 15t pinion and i initially thought the 15t would be geared too high but i really didnt see much difference in the temps when testing them both. i wonder if simply it was too high rpm. i will experiment and see what happens.
