I know mod 1 should be mod 1 but I'm just curious. I don't even know what brand I'm running since I bought a 3 pack from the LHS when I bought my RC8.2e. I just know I'm running 16t on my ET48 and 17 on my EB48.2.

Any that seem to run quieter than others? My truggy seems to have more gear noise than some others out there. It's not loud like the RTR cars seem to be but it makes me think a higher quality pinion might be a good thing.

I'm running the stock plastic spur.
For me, Robinson Racing seems to be the quietest and most precise pinion. It is MUCH quieter than my Tekno pinions. I haven't purchased a Novak pinion in a while, but have read good comments about them all the time.
