RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - why does a 5mm bore automatically triple the price of a pinion??

If you look at the description for the 1/8" bore pinion it says "standard alloy" AKA not hardened. The 5mm bore does use more material, but you're mainly paying for the hardened metal which is going to last much longer. If you were wondering why the 5mm looks dirty, that's from the hardening process.
