Thank you!

I get them from Towerhobbies, and they are all Robinson Racing pinions and spurs.... I also stay with 48p gears for durability, and I never use 64p gears in none of my cars...

I came across a brand new front Losi CVD set in some parts I got but by the assembly instructions it shows a piece of shrink tube that goes over it. That is the only thing I am missing. Do you know is it a special kind or thickness shrink tubing, then regular electrical shrink tube ? I hear these front sets are real hard to find.

The stock TC4 motor mount and motor cam are both aluminum.

GPM make a blue aluminum heatsink version.

The stock motor mount and cam are a powdered aluminum... The Factory Team blue parts are machined and anodized.

actually... i thought about it longer... edit***

The actual mounts are machined aluminum black or FT blue. The motor Cam and the upper clamp pieces are the ones that are powder in the stock black and machined/anodized blue for the FT.

Sorry for the mis-information...
