electric or nitro? If electric stick with plastic. if nitro steel. When you ask a question be sure to give a little info on your application. It makes it easier to answer your questions. Also give the readers time to read and answer before you bump a thread.

ok sorry and will the steel be bad for the trany

and it a nitro (t-maxx 2.5)

tc5 man

a metal spur gear defiely! for nitro.

russell77

ok i have to wait now because just got 2 plastic ones

tc5 man

you can run a plastic spur gear on, a nitro i have on a t-maxx but if you land with the while on the throttle. still i will strip it trust me i happen to me and i put a metal, spur gear on no problems at all.

russell77

so nothing bad will happen to my trany with the steel gear

tc5 man

if the gears inside the trany are, plastic than a metal spur can strip them espially if you land with the throttle on. i whould get metal gears inside the trany if your, gone to use a metal spur gear.

russell77

THANK YOU so much that's what i needed to hear that's why i did not want to get the steel gear

I agree, keep using a plastic spur gear if you have plastic gears in your tranny. If you choose to have a metal spur gear, be sure to use metal gears in your tranny aswell.
