Until Kyosho releases a smaller spur gear (Pillars knows we need one!), this is the best combo of spur/slipper pad so you can still utilize the slipper (if you want to?), without locking down onto the spur gear itself. Some run 17.5 NT with locked slippers... Others (myself included), prefer the feel a slipper provides. Either way, you have options!
The AVID topshaft for RB5 / RB6 is coming within a couple weeks. We improved on the gear mesh and it will also allow you to run the Triad slipper system which makes down to a 69 tooth spur! Part number AV1020-TOP-KYO
