I have a hardened gear that looks to be made from a nitro clutch bell... I think that is what Mike's are... genuine clutch bell gears.

But I'm sure I recall reading that someone destroyed these too... don't forget that nitros do not have the startup torque and they don't use the gears for braking. So the nitros are much more gear-friendly than bl.

But I agree that it seems like hardened steel should hold up to bl anyway...
