re: the hardened pinions. That's good to know - I've done the metal/metal thing before with a hardened pinion/spur on a 1/8 buggy and all it did was shred the pinion after about 1 hours running. I was assuming the same with the CRT.5, but maybe since it is a lighter truck it is easier on the hardened pinions. My truck has only been run lightly a couple of times testing the BL conversion and setup, so no major pounding on the gears yet.

I would still prefer the 32p, and a nice plastic spur would make for a quieter ride.
