We didn't break it with a load. I believe what caused it to break was the mouth we had as a "hard stop." We didn't have an actual hard stop so we just went full speed until you hit the lip and I think the repeated hits eventually broke it. We also realized that one gearbox was 25:1 and the other was ?20:1? I believe and the different torques caused it break as well. We just recently replaced the gearbox so we should have to correct ratios on both sides without any issues.
