IMO, the 1/8 shaft is too weak.
I understand the 1/8 shaft motor being a direct replacement and that's all good. But the 5mm pinions are readily available now.
The first thing I do when working on a setup is toss out the 1/8 shaft motor and gears, then in goes a bigger motor and better gears.
Sometimes the spur gear gets tossed out also, only to be replaced with Mod 1 gears.
We have to think "tougher" especially with the power levels we're putting down.
Weak stuff just don't hold up to extended use.
