Dude, this is old! :-)

That's been my experience too. Especially with the old-style 24 tooth gears.
In fact, the axle support kinda warps as the axle rotates out. And then
sometimes it just breaks.
Just use the new style 24t gears. The axle suport is VERY solid and I
haven't broken one yet!

That's a good idea. I did something similar a while back, but with axles
instead of pegs. It worked well.

Probably not. The old style 24t gears you've broken aren't made anymore.
They might replace them with newer style ones, but I can't say. It's worth a
try I suppose.

| Sorry for digging up an old thread ;) In the solar car I'm building (see the 'heavily modified 8880 chassis' thread) I've so far broken 3 old style 24 tooth gears. (among some old style 12 tooth crown gears, but that's no surprise really...) The (...) (22 years ago, 8-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
