Re: pic: I know this isn't a competition but...
Are these the 14t gears? We had the exact same failure at our first district. Swapped them for steel replacements.
We also noticed some significant wear on the input gears, which seemed to be due to our CIMs getting pushed out of position (from inboard to outboard). We secured them with hose clamps and the problem went away - a nice trick to remember for the future.
