Opinions on hard anodizing and TiNi coatings?

Wondering if those losi diff gears are worth the price????

All I can say is that TiN coated drill bits last alor longer than M2 steel ones. And I have no idea how good the stock losi steel really is, might not be as good as M2...

I have a set in my lst, with nova rc diff cups and they have not given me any issues yet. Also have a set for the muggy, which can be had fairly cheap if you seach for sportwerks gears on ebay, same as the losi tin coated.

Yep, those Sportwerks are the ones I'm looking at for my F8T. Kind of on a kick to build some bulletproof diffs because I hate rebuilding them. Got some of the HotBodies hardened internals on the way, and figure if I add the Sportwerks ring gears I'll have a solid pair of diffs. Also going to throw the hardened internals into the Slipperential.

EDIT: Decided to order a pair each of the 45T and 43T. Got the pair of 45T, but there was only a single 43T listed, so I bought it and emailed them to see if they had another one available. Problem is since Sportwerks has discontinued their production I have a feeling I might have to track the other 43T down from somewhere else. Could always go for the Losi one, but would rather not pay over 3x more for it.
