nylon cogs - 11.23.2009, 06:19 AM

hi all...
yes redshift thats the stuff, really sticky designed to stay until oil pressure is up.
i think your gears would have worn down in a year to the point they are weak at the tooth, i had my nylon ones for around 6 years till i switched to brushless, they were well worn tho.
i run offroad mostly, have a rear difflock (spool) using the maxx paddles and try to climb the biggest mounds of mud i can find, like formula one offroad.
i think this put a hell of alot of strain on the transmission and is the reason the nylon cogs fail so quickly.
rivermaxx, nice speed pass, 80 mph upside down i bet that put a few scratches in your shell. my truck dont go that fast its geared down to around 40 mph top speed which also puts more strain on the trans.
not shure how much my truck weighs, have to get the scales out and weigh it.
you lost me on the titanium gears? what? where? see ya all....
just looked up on ti gears and apparently there not worth it. might as well use steel
