Well I just received an email from PTI saying the metal gears are coming in 3 weeks. They have them on their website. Take a look.

shouldn't the pinion be tapered? look where the gears mesh.

OGmicromonster · 01-08-2009, 12:34 PM

From what I understand, they duplicated the plastic gears. PTI isn't the ones actually making the parts. They found a source to make them for them. The people making them are the same ones that make the gears for RCP. That's what I was told anyway.

Beautiful!

dezfan · 01-08-2009, 12:43 PM

It's good to see the poor PTI finally getting these.

jetboat · 01-08-2009, 12:56 PM

I had talked to them 3-4 months ago and they said they were coming out soon... didnt know soon was that long though. Time to pull mine back out of the parts bin. Maybe Ill start selling iA chassis' again

Skeeno · 01-08-2009, 02:11 PM

Those look nice.

evileddy420 · 01-08-2009, 02:47 PM

WOO HOO metal gears. and they look purty, too.

Now I can take my goliath off of the shelf and use it.

RivBlueNoma · 01-08-2009, 03:52 PM

Well its about time. How many years have the PTI guys been waiting for these?

prp1 · 01-08-2009, 06:43 PM

Thank God. If PTI could just offer some serious drive shafts I will quit threatning to get an axial. Time to upgrade the lipo to an 11.1v

666 · 01-08-2009, 06:50 PM

Yup yup, these will work in place of AE gears I hope? My Poulsons would love some as my PTI rigs.

Thanks PTI!!!!

SACCO · 01-08-2009, 07:55 PM

Nice

S_C_I_P_I_O79 · 01-08-2009, 09:04 PM

What a wonderful post-holiday surprise

This old project will definitely be getting a set of these.

RivBlueNoma · 01-08-2009, 10:15 PM

Yikes. Ill bet that thing eats some gears.

WRXronald · 01-09-2009, 01:44 PM

Maybe I can finally take the TLT axles off my PTI chassis...

LOL, that's a good one - never noticed that coincidence. Maybe I'll be able to change that from 'Eat It!' to 'Eat This!'

I was contemplating researching if these gears can be pre-ordered, but realized 3 weeks can easily become 5 or 6 weeks so I'll just wait till they hit the streets.

evileddy420 · 01-10-2009, 11:40 AM

Now I just need some cash. Maybe I should go find a job or something.
But than I won't be able to work on or drive my rigs.
