I have yet to blow any of the gears, maybe Im just too easy on my junk

Ordered 2 sets of gears from tower for the wk, after i go through them i'll probably go with a r2 with disconect

[cotharyus]

To be honest, I know I'm going to break things. I'm running a crawlermaster on 14.4 volts. Performance is incredible, but of course all it takes is a slip on the throttle at the wrong time to tear something up.

its always the small lower gear.. so anyone hear anything about metal tranny gears yet??

[halfcab]

I don't know what kind of scaler you are going to build with the WK axles they are way wide for a scaler, tlt's stick out of most bodies a little

[Harley]

Yeah the WK axles are very wide. However I put the Nitro MT knuckles and drivecups in one set of mine, using near zero offset wheels and it isn't all THAT bad.

I have some pictures but haven't uploaded them.

And on to the actual subject, I have found the stock to handle brushless just fine. It is all just about knowing your rig and its limits.

whenever i figure out what body i want i'll have to do a mockup with the axles.. it will be a 2.2 scaler by the way... if i have to narrow the axle i will, i kind of want to try it anyways..

[nonstopboost]

i would like to see a set of metal gears too...

Hi Harley, i understand limits just fine;), it's when you are going for a little wheelspeed and a tire gets caught in a bind suddenly that has probably killed my plastic gears, so hopefully tomorrow when i get my 2 sets i will have one sent to a machinist to get them done in aluminum.

Me too... Probably help to defer the cost to make more sets too...
