rc-m: only tried one and it was still wearing out pretty fast until a tooth BROKE off of it. would have lasted about 15-20 runs
castle creations: best i've tried yet. there is little or no wear on the one i'm using in my crt .5. the grub screw is a little soft though. i already stripped one, but they come with a spare. going on 20 runs with almost zero wear at all.

Our pinions are as good or better than anything else out there - that said, we do get an occasional "dummy" - I have seen perhaps 30 pinion gears with premature wear or broken teeth in the last few years (we have well over 5000 pinions out there) - we also replace worn or broken gears(send damaged gear and we send a replacement).
