I had a Centrury steel pinion wear out running against a Kyosho plastic spur. You would probably have to change your aluminum pinions every heat. (slight exageration, but only slight.)

You obviously don't know it yet, but you really don't want aluminum pinions on electric 1/8th scales.

well i'd like to try it
i had aluminum in my e-revo brushless that has way bigger tires and it didn't have any problem
and i don't think that most 1/8 pinions are aluminum and that they are just hardened since most of the ones i have seen advertised say hardened steel
please keep the information comming though

thats funny. i just like having lighter parts and a lighter drive train for more efficiency and i think that aluminum ones are way cooler
i will say that the plastic spur in my 8ight-E is way cooler than the metal one that i had cause it is so much quieter and smoother sounding, although it stis closer to the motor mount so i had to grind my motor mount down some so that the pinion doesn't hit
thanks for the info
