|  I don't see how you can run brushless motors with plastic gears, I could never get them to last on the rocks.

I guess that's why loctite costs so much, they know you need it.

Yeah was wondering about the metal gears. I bought this rig already built and the previous owner had not lock tight'd the grub screw  lock tight'd now though . The plastic gears cost $15 a set and are easy to get hold of here in NZ not like the CVD's so thought just run them as a sacrificial part of the drive train BUT if you guys can shed some light on why I should upgrade to metal gears then I am listening  . Hell it seems about the only thing this rig does not have  .
