How do you know that you aren't exceeding their advertised ability to withstand static or dynamic loads?

How would you test that without ruining gears?
I mean you'd have to test it to Vex's specification and then risk testing it in a drivetrain.

Testing to Vex's specification would rule out defective gears...testing your drive train would demonstrate a design issue.
