That is also an excellent question and I'm thinking that based on the hardness of the gear it shouldn't chatter on the shaft and fail or fail from the weakling however I could probably use inventor and software like deform to see if it will fail I foresee some finite element analysis software in the future and also I'm wondering how hard it would be to just machine my own pinions and heat treat them after
