If you read the write up I posted ther are only 3 types of mod 1 gears 14.5* 20* and 25*. If one manufacturer makes a mod 1 20* gear it should match perfect to the other manufacturer 20 degrees mod 1 gear. 20 degrees is 20 degrees its a universal measurement I believe and there is no metric or foreign equivelent form of measurment for degrees .There should be no descrepencies between 2 20* mod 1 gears at all made by different manufacturers period. If there is, then one manufacturer is making them wrong. Yes it is just a spur and pinion the 2 peices that mesh together and all the power goes through. I may be looking into it too deep but thats just me I refuse to 1/2 ass something together and hope it works. If you still want to argue about the different pressure angles of gears dont look at me its not my rules. I am sure some dumb ass engineer with a phd thought of it just to screw with us and make things difficult . The biggest problem I had was tires and I now have that solved. My first goal is to break the current isc record of ~70 mph. Second goal is to break 100mph so well see.

Riv,

I think you overshot my comment. All I meant is that Traxxas may use 14.5*, Mike may use 20*, Kyosho may use 25* yet plenty of us have intermixed these with no real issues because the only factor we look for is matching pitch between gears. This is NOT a pssing contest!! You have the right to go about it how you please but I think everyone can agree with me.........The simpler you keep it, the more fun it stays!!! Good luck and hope to see you at 100+!! I already have the t-shirt....
