Default 3 engine T Maxx

I have a T Maxx with 3 XTM 24.7 engines on it. I used the XTM clutches because they are bigger, but had to use a Monster GT spur gear for the pitch. The trouble is that nobody makes a steel gear for this, and at 8 HP they don't last, plus with Jumbo Kong tires this thing breaks parts at will. Has anyone heard of a steel gear for the monster GT? I called robinson racing and they don't know when they will make one. Also, has anyone seen a setup like this? I will post pics if there is interest. Thanks!

When I was breaking a new motor in, mine would not shift until I leaned it out. I run 2-2.5 turns out and have good luck

They must be on the the underside of the chassis. Have you driven it yet? I bet you could climb over a real car!
