RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Any possible way of mounting 48 pitch spurs on the crt.5? Dont want to run mod1

48p on the CRT.5 isn't a good idea IMO. It would strip out too easily. 32p would be the smallest tooth I would even consider using, but unfortunately there aren't any premade options out there for bolting such a spur up to the stock center diff.

The Kyosho spur gears are also mod1. In the case of that thread, it was during a time when hardened steel mod1 gears were not so easy to come by - so having a plastic spur gear made it much easier to get a pinion that wouldn't wear out in a few runs.
