Serum,

My comments were not intended to contradict yours. I'm just curious about your experience with the parts.

Steel gears on aluminum is a no go, I agree.

I've used both stock and CVD on the current config. The CVD's are more recent and before you say it, yes I know the stock flexi-shafts are a saving grace for the drivetrain.

BTW, I never doubt your mechanical genius.........but I've been wrenching on model cars, planes, and boats for 30 years plus full scale boats, motorcycles and racecars (not boy-racer wannabe cars either) for 25. I know what I'm doing and what I'm talking about but I also know that I can learn from other's experiences and knowledge too!

finally......I'll probably be pulling out the lightweight stuff when the brushless system goes in. (Neumotor & Quark 125B or Monster Mamba Maxx...TBD)
