They are the RC4wd lightened gears, then milled down

Here is a weight comparison between a set of Hot Racing gears and the RC4WD lightened gears milled by SMW.

18 grams of weight savings over a regular set of hardened gears! NICE!! I should have weighed the RC4WD lightened gears before I sent them out so the only comparison I have is to the regular Hot Racing gears

Just want to give a shout out to RobBob!! These link mounts are impressive!! I would have never thought mounts could make such a difference but what I noticed especially on the front axle was that I could get my servo more level and it helped not only the balance of the rig but also break over ability. With all the testing I've done, the rig is set up the best it has been right now. I may even get second to last place this Sunday!!!!!!

Picked up some Shift Hubs from BC Brian at the Rock Island Spring Fling this weekend. I have contemplated these for a bit but then seeing them in person I just had to have them!! I love the adjustability factor and removing some of the wheel slop. Thanks again for letting me try that Super, your gonna cost me a lot of money now!!!

Was nice to meet you man. I am glad you liked the shifts and that I remembered to bring them so you could pick up a set. If you have any questions on them feel free to drop me a PM. As for the super, like the drug dealers always say "the first taste is free"

It would be great to have a few more drivers in that class, setting up a super course at one of our events would be a ton of fun.

had a rough practice session tonight, blew some teeth off the gear on the upper shaft and a tooth came through the rear axle case like a compound fracture!!

No, it was actually an RC4WD hardened steel gear
