i've tried a bunch of different brands of pinion gears and the best so far are:
robinson racing: wears at a somewhat slow pace. mine lasted ~25 runs.
novak: i've had 2 break from the steel breaking around the grub screw. slow wearing and last about ~50 runs
rc-m: only tried one and it was still wearing out pretty fast until a tooth BROKE off of it. would have lasted about 15-20 runs
castle creations: best i've tried yet. there is little or no wear on the one i'm using in my crt .5. the grub screw is a little soft though. i already stripped one, but they come with a spare. going on 20 runs with almost zero wear at all.
