My gearbox does that in 3rd gear when loaded. 1st and 2nd are good.

I am sure that I'll end up using metal gears within the Tamiya 3 speed for my next build

It is not the Trans that’s the problem it is your bec. In first gear you’re not overloading the esc and the bec is able to keep the servo in position. In second which is center for the servo you won’t notice losing bec much. Now third is a different story when you pull a heavy load the esc losses its ability to put out full bec to the receiver. To test this run the truck with a load and if it seems like its slipping in third gear add a receiver pack to the receiver and try it again and I can guarantee the trans won’t drop out of gear.
