Procharged.. Do you use the stock drivetrain or do you use rigid cvd's all around?

I said the input is less weak than the output. i had them in my maxx and dumped them. aluminum gears on steel gears is a nogo. stock idlers are a waste too, i manage to brake them in 2 runs. (even with the singlespeed conversion)

trust me, i know my way around in mechanic-land, and i am a perfectionist in smoothing out gears, but they are just weak products.

Anyway, the lightweight parts will wear faster than the stock steel ones, this statement is a true as a statement can be.
