David from RD-Logics asked me the same question and I told him I believe it's the material that the S-class gears are made of... They're to soft period. My clutch and spur gears are brand new... And Daniz24, you have a point, when I run the 24t clutch gear, I don't have a problem... When I run 25/47 for my 2nd gear my gears didn't strip either, but my speed tops out way to soon... When I switched to 25/46 and 25/45, the speed increase was perfect... but the distance in tooth count and the speed increase was I guess to much for the gears to handle. My shift point is right on the money and my gear mesh was perfect everytime I changed the gears.... It's set to shift early to carry my top speed longer and take the stress off the S-Class 2nd gear during shifting... I'm not here slamming the car or flaming it... I like everyone else supports RD-logics and the car.... We're just looking for answers and this one, I can't figure out... It must be the material of the gears that can't take the stress... Any Team or Factory driver's have any answers???

Maybe the big differences from 1st gear to second gear cause this. I always stay not too far away from my 1st and 2nd gear ratio. Maximum is 5 teeth difference.
Too old or too sharp pinion can also cause the problem just as those Kyosho guys called their as "2-racedays-only-pinion-gear" LOL
