The shape could be a factor, but it shouldn't wear out the motor unless it's way off. In that case, you'll never be able to get them to mesh. But running a bad shimmed bevel gear could cause the motor to work a lot harder. I've had no issue running the lonex motor with Modify gears, so that isn't the issue. As for rate of fire, you'll have a slower ROF, but if could be much faster if shimmed correctly. The A1 is a very high performance motor so getting 30 RPS is easy with a lipo.
