obviously you need to look into a double-diagonal PVC rollhoop with this kind of upgraded power...(trackday,bro)
metal gears ftw. is the plastic gear a tight interference fit on the shaft or does it have a set screw? just from the experience of fixing up old "department store tier" RC Cars with plastic gears...the plastic either strips teeth or the entire gear will spin on the shaft once the interference fit gets loosened by shock loads. with metal gears i JB weld them to the shaft, with plastic i drill through the base of the gear and the shaft and pin the assembly together with a paperclip (in your case maybe you'd use wire coat hanger) that passes the entire way through and the ends get bent to keep the pin in place.
