    Most likely your one way bearing is locking up.

      I had an almost permanently locked OWB on my 550FBL. Didn't cause any gear stripping with the standard original gears. Even when the EC5 popped and I had to Auto down, the gears didn't strip.
      Been there and done that, but never stop learning.
      Now too many Helis to mention?

        I know the OWB is about 2 months old and Before my "situation" my heli would auto as normal (for me) as I am rebuilding my heli I have noticed the maingear is showing a one third chamfer along the botton of the teeth? I have also experienced OWB lock up but as per John it did not strip any of the drive chain so I can only continue to rebuild and remain optimistic this heli has been so reliable considering the pilot and I have had over 40 trouble free flights until recently as modelguard suggested a OWB would account for my rapid decay on the maingear and I am quite happy to fit a new bearing "to be continued"
