Default 1st and 2nd shaft - bearings and 2speed stripping problems

Dear all,

Last Saturday i started stripping 2nd gears once again. Already had this issue a couple of months ago and found out that the screws in the rear bulkhead that fix with the main shaft towers got loose so it was causing too much flex.

Fixed the screws and problem solved.

Lately i noticed that the bearings that hold the main shaft especially the one on the 2speed where getting busted after a 30 min race.

To make it worse last Saturday i stripped 2 x 2nd gears, i thought because of the failed bearings but still they weren't that bad.

I also noticed that the 2nd wobbles so much that its touching a bit the swaybar?

What do you guys suggest?

Thanks
