| Tranny gears
I ordered a 45T warrior motor, and have a feeling it's going to eat my tranny alive. Are the ckrc alum. gears alright, or are hardened steel ones better? Who makes steel gears? Thanks, -Matt |

I havent seen and hardened steel gears for the WK. I think the alum holds up fine. I have run many different motors in mine and even let the wife drive it and still going strong. | |

I am glad someone makes aluminum gears. I keep stripping the input gear in my tranny with a 75 turn motor. |

I purchased and installed the metal tranny gear set from CKRC and I love it. They drop right in and I don't think any motor is gonna tear them up. They are really well made and of good matrial. I am keeping the spur gear plastic though so it can be the easy to replace weak point of my drivetrain.
