GPM makes delrin gears. I ran a set. They were stronger, lasted longer and the ran smoother. But I did manage to strip them as well. They're also a little expensive.

They are CNC machined and fit nicely in the housing. The pinion is stainless steel and the ring gear is hardened copper alloy that has been plated. I have run my set very hard in a rock racer that I built for a special race. I set them up with two shims on the ring gear side and one on the other side. I then set the pinion so there was very little or no play, but also no grinding when rotated. I did not use grease to start because I wanted to see any wear marks. I ran two packs and took it apart to check it out. A quick wipe to remove any stray pieces of metal flashing from inside the housing and then I put some grease on the gears. I put it back together and ran it for a weekend. I have not noticed any further wear after the last disassembly. I have a total of about 3 hours run time on a rock racer.
