Our gearbox is, so far, doing okay, but we're also investigating an aluminum replacement and I am wary that the added rigidity might cause or accelerate a failure.

Madison, the gearbox failure happened during initial testing of the Aluminum link. That being said, we were never able to work the PVC link as hard as we were the Aluminum link because we were afraid that the PVC was going to snap. It's a bit hard for me to say that the aluminum caused the failure, but at the same time it's difficult for me to say that the aluminum didn't cause the failure.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
