So i got a Highroller 1/10 and within one run on the truck with a 3000 onyx battery stripped 2 gears in the tranny. The idler gear (inside the tranny) and another gear im not to sure what it is (its the largest gear with 3 smaller gears in it)
I would like metal gears so this does not happen again. Ive found them i believe on ebay but just wanna make sure im getting the right stuff
Found both on ebay but cant post links yet since im a new user
this is the Item numbers
160575351993

See that's the thing idk if they do, I know I can get them made but idk if I need to, the trucks all stock with a mid grade battery on it. You can look up either the losi strike, slider, or high roller gear bag and it'll show them all. There is a company that makes stamped steel gears but it's not all of them. And the LHS which i will no longer be going to want do anything for me.

Well,
Your planet gears are for the diff action (side to side)... They will put the power to the tire with the least amount of traction or "one wheel wonder".. It's up to you if you want to put plastic gears in a steel/aluminum diff. I can't imagine them not being made from someone though...

Okay so is there anything that might act as a posi trac or something that might work instead, such as a spool??? I'm new into this it's the first car I've had in ten plus years... Just not to impressed with this one... Not really what I wanted anyway but girlfriend said we had to get the prettier one...

I would just slap the steel idler and ring gear in the thing with the plastic planets and see how it holds up for you.

Ya I thought about it, the truck is gonna stay stock forever it just amazes me that the mini highroller you can get all steel gears for it... I'm gonna get those two gears and see how it goes. I was gonna go briskness and get the boy a electrix truck but guess my plans will be changing
