Shooter burning motors...but why?

So... we have a shooter powered by a 550 motor. (We have destroyed both a FP and AM motor.) The motor is geared down about 7:1 using parts from a Modulox lunchbox, and then powers 2 8" dia wheels on a hex shaft. We have destroyed 2 motors after only a couple shots each, and cant figure out why. Any ideas?
