Like you, our initial shooter wheel was going through a 3:1 transmission and failed. We replaced it with a MiniCIM which works fine but, of course, weights a lot more.
The replacement was from the beginning of build season and we had tested with it before as well, it wasn't brand new. VEX is sending us a replacement for the first one that failed. I haven't told them about the second one since it was after COB on Friday night.
