Steel spurs eat pinion gears for lunch in electric conversions. If you go with a steel spur prepare for replaceing the pinion gears very fequntly. I've heard as much as every few packs. Even using the hardened pinion gears they just dont last. Plastic is much better.

yes, they seem to eat pinions.
atleast thats what i read, also a ofna or kyosho plastic spur doesnt fit on the xray diffs.
maybe slipperential v3 is the answer? but will there be one that fits:032:
