Except the end result of a failed cap is, a "shredded ring and pinion".

The gear fails first, resulting in the broken cap. The pinion deflects.

If so, That means an upgraded Cap mod is essentially worthless? eek

Wonder if the OEM cap flexes at all, facilitating less then ideal R&P teeth loading, leading to their failure.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
