Exclamation Using hardened steel R.R. spur on 5mm 32 pitch pinions - 12.03.2006, 03:52 PM

Hi, i was just wondering how well the 5mm bore 32 pitch pinions hold up when driving a R.R. hardened steel spur gear (maxx spur). I have no tranny, im running the diffs straight off the spur. It's a 7.5 lb truggy with 1/8 tires, and about 8.5 lbs with medium mass maxx tires...

Just wondering if a plastic spur will hold well with more torque being transfered through it. I'll have a big plate that will grab the spur at the outer most holes, so thats where the power is transfered.
