I honestly don't know, the alignment looks perfect, I have another set to install. We'll see what happens with them.. Moo, that is good news, b/c 30/30 25/25 would be a better match with the HPI tires/rims. The 29/31 is just a little to high, and I loose too much bottom end.

R.I.P. Homoto gears.


Well, 1.5 more tanks and this! lol Think there is a issue? I installed the gears on my Dune Runner, just to go out bashing tonight.


Notice the condition of the 23/26 MCD gears, they are still perfect.

is that the set that were already worn or a new set? looks like they're made of aluminum
No, that's the set that was badly worn.


The new set is on my MT, I ran one tank through them last night they they still look perfect.

Those are definetly the same gears I am running they are the Homoto gears. They wore exactly the same way mine wore. I am running MCD C/D gears though. They all wore the same way mine wore. Now there is 2 of us. Did you contact DDM? They will get aanswer for you, I bought mine from Exportpro, they must distribute Homoto parts.

Just went up and checked mine again....there a little rusty but still good tight mesh, I added a little grease to get them to spin freely. Must have 4-5 hard tanks on them now.

My Ramtech 25's are holding up just fine, I don't even know how many tanks I have throught hem, but they are perfect yet. Well done Rob. Looks like you need to educate Homoto on how harden steel.
