Tranny gears

[Slowkrawl]

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,

It shouldnt hurt the tranny. I let my 8 yr old drive mine alot so i went ahead and put the aluminum gears in. My drive train holds up great only problems were the dogbones. He was breaking them every run. Put in some rc4wd stainless steel ones and have yet to break anything.
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.

Actually I do remember that coming out..But never heard anything about how well they worked. RC4WD has had a few products that don't work well. Either way, thanks for the replies guys!

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.
