Anybody know or seen who is making the Delrin ring/pinions? I have heard of them but not seen them. I think bronze pinions would be the way to go! Ever thought of marketing that Rayhaung?

Hooked_on: I'm not having spur gear troubles unless I practice on dirty surfaces then the rocks etc. eats them up. I think Ae makes a lexan protective cover for the bottom that covers the spur gear area but not fir sure. BB
I think the stripping of the gears is because of the heat. I will try the ventilated front case the next time I go down to Cincy. I haven't had problems at Toledo when it was cooler. I have also lost two input drive cups when running a solid front axle. Plastic strength decreases with heat. GPM we want some delrin gears!
