Ah, but if you notice, the wheels supplied by your typical kid's jeep are SLICK. They're designed to slip WAY before any SERIOUS forces are applied to the plastic gears.
When you put a REAL tire on them (like Skyway wheels on carpet), then stall them out or repeatedly slam reverse them, the forces are MUCH higher on the plastic gears than before. They weren't designed to take very much of that.
