Does anybody know whats the endurance limit of ABS? Couldnt find any useful information online
 
Not much. It's a useless bearing material. Gears are usually made from POM or polyester.

Pud is (of course) correct. Also worth mentioning that ABS is not one well-defined material. It is SAN (of various types) filled with various amounts of polybutadience rubber particles of various sizes. Some grades contain a lot of left other surfactant and others do not. All the parameters affect performance.
