Would i have to change spur size pinion etc? Will be running a 5.5. Thanks

Ive had many a problem with idler gears and the metal gear too.
Ive ran several weeks indoors, idler cover always on. After 2 nights of racing the metal gear had a slight groove in it - the next week the idler itself melted.
Replaced the idler, metal idler gear and also the large spur gear.... 2 nights later the new metal idler had a slight groove in it. I checked the dust cover for debris etc - nothing.
So Im still not sure how this groove gets there - and fingers crossed then next stage is not for the plastic idler to melt again.
