Your right, now that i think about it, when i opened up a 249 mechbox, the pinion gear is actually touching perfectly [back of the pinion tooth lines up with the end of the bevel gear].

So like Flatlander said, there should be more tooth contact to cause less material failure.

So in conclusion, I guess the systema method either has a flaw or i just did it wrong And make sure the pinion gear teeth are fully touching the bevel gear

Well...helicals are different, yes. I'm sorry, I thought you were referring to "regular" gears.
If these helicas break im never going back to them, I will just purchase Torque gears, BB's per second means nothing, gearbox stability > anything else.
