I had one in my dragster for 7-8 years until other breakage caused some damage to the output shaft. I took the gears and installed them in a full length carrier and they are now working fine in my door car. I put a BTE 1.69 in my dragster and the teeth on those gears are noticeably smaller, hopefully it holds up as long as the 1.80 did.
I am afraid the 1.69 is not as strong as the 1.80 for the very reason you described. The teeth are thinner and they cannot handle as much torque. If you upgrade to a 1.65 gearset, the teeth are much thicker. |

Bob, it was indeed a noticeable difference between the size of the teeth. I like the way the car works with it, so I may do just as you said and try a 1.65 next time around.
1.65 sonnax is a good piece for sure
