Well orginally those gears were mostly plastic. I asked RC4WD to make them into steel gears for me which they now sell on thier website. The pics are what they looked like when I got them back. I use AE stealth grease on all the gears so no worries of hot steel gears, binding, anything like that and the cover keeps all the bad stuff out. You barely hear them with all the grease in them. but everything is solid and powerful and cool.

Believe me I built this truck 10 times better than its original design. With the Novak 6.5 I was taking nitro's at the track. i inteded on the RX8 To take up the slack. i just ordered an RRP.8 mod 16t and 18t which should do nicely. Which of couse I'll check the temps and gears while testing it till I get what is acceptable and not harmfull to the truck as a whole.
