any gears can blow up i have about 5 mates that have blown up calminis,and only 1 that has done the rockhopers,sometimes its just bad luck and sometimes people thrash the shit out of them and drop the clutch all the time and blow them up them selves

20-30 trips in 8 months????
Is that trips in the bush or trips with the engine running in general?
