i am having gear stripping problems as well as a mate of mine so you are not alone,like you i have checked and tried all the things i could think of as well as all the info from this thread none of which have worked, i have tried the mesh tight and loose with no success, i raced the mtx-3 for 2 years with .8 gears and never stripped a single gear i only changed the gears when they became sharp, so the problem i feel is in the chassis flexing when travelling over bumps, curbs or on impacts even with alloy side and lower braces i am still stripping gears so i am hoping a 4mm chassis when it is released will fix the problem
