The case/holder that breaks the gears is this one.

My project is to try to make A Deere 318, using the power functions medium
motor. I have a 9x gear reduction after the motor, before my home made case,
which allows the bevel gears to 'jump.' The case has to go from a north/south
arrangement to east/west, without skipping gears, but rather stalling the motor.
I have gone through too many gears.
The piece on the front of the model is dozer blade. This tractor has to push a
fair amount of weight over a carpet, and pull weight, not to mention the battery
box and motors. If i can, i want to stay away from the 24 tooth crown gear and
a worm gear.
I have faced this problem many times, and used the lego made one (Link above)
but have never been happy with it.
Here is a brickshelf gallery of pictures.
Thank you,
