Steel? Even better then. What gets me is steel gears would be great, even if they werent hardened, but the guy selling them seems to think pretending they are $500 Ti gears will get him more sales- which it wont because the advert is so lame. He cant keep selling the same set of 'one-off' gears for ever....

the only reason he can keep selling them as "one of a kind" gears is that there is a sucker born every minute. But I do agree... If he was just honest and told people that they were steel gears and that he is making them to improve the strength of the transmision he would sell more of them.

IMO steel gears are to heavy. I had an ultramaxxed trasmision at one point and it weighed a ton. It was tough for sure, but the weight of those steel gears was crazy. Especially when used in a full 2 speed setup.

Soon they wont be needed anyway. The new Emaxx tranny should be as tough as is necessary and as soon as the aftermarket chassis makers update their stuff to accept the new style tranny configuration (which will hopefully not be to long) the old transmision stuff will be obsolete for anybody except the folks that already have the older stuff.
