Time will tell I suppose.

Dave, it's probably just me but I stripped the Losi plastic spur after about 5 packs. So yeah I think I will be going back to steel, the Losi spur cost as much as a hardened pinion and when using the Robinson wide spur the steel pinions last a long time. Without a slipper the spur takes a beating, both during acceleration, braking and I just had too many failures using the plastic spur which could cause a DNF during a race. Also, the 47T spur will allow me to use slightly bigger pinions which will last longer (more surface area/teeth).
