Sorry, just to go over what I have already said on other threads.

It is the slipper that is sending heat into the gearbox and making the plastic soft. Change the slipper pads to a different type and you will not have any issues.
I have tried the AE, Yokomo and the Losi and they are all fine.
With the AE and Yok you have to change the spur gear also but with the Losi one you just glue it onto the AR spur.

I am also trying different types in the X4 too but I have not yet finished so I will let you know.

Thanks
Stu
