the mod 1 spur gear and pinion gear is the answer to the stock spur and pinion.
these gears are 10 times meatier than the stock ones.
I would recommend using these gears over the stock ones even if you are not going to go brushless.
I just don't think the stock gears will last very long even with the stock motor.
My stock spur and pinion made stripping noises from the beginning with the mesh adjusted right and the stock motor.
I put in a 20 turn motor, and that killed the stock spur gear after 2 runs.
I went with the 11 tooth mod 1 pinion and my truck will pull the front tires off the ground from a dead stop and it still has decent top end.
I took the transfer case / transmission apart to check the grease in it, and there was very little.
I re-greased the gears in it, and i noticed that the gears in the ransfer case have similar size teeth as the mod 1 spur and pinion, so there should be no worries with those gears breaking.
I think the only possible weak link now would be the plastic driveshafts, but they seem to be pretty tough. But i think if you go to a very powerful motor, you may want to replace them with the aluminum drive shafts.
Just my opinion.
