If the pinion set screw backs out, you loose drive. Looks more like a worn out cheap aluminum pinion?

i would agree - badly made, or cheaply made. Are you using the standard TAMIYA 20T pinion?? |

those tamiya pinions are to soft a material and wear easily. Get a good quality pinion from Robinson Racing here is the link to a 20, but they have many others http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEX43&P=7 |

the link I posted above is the correct metric pitch gears from Robinson. They also fit most Tamiya touring cars and such so they shouldbn't be a problem to find.
