Yes, I know that, but not everyone has got the money for hardened steel pinions and can achieve an
absolutely perfect and consistent mesh.

- you would only need the ring and pinion gears, not complete diffs....

*EDIT* Brian, actually when I had a dual HV-maxx e-maxx I ran a RRP 65t hardened steel spur with kyosho pinions and had no ill effects at all over many, many runs. But, when I put RRP pinions on (just to change ratio) the pinions lasted maybe 3 runs at most. Weird:confused:
