who would like custom delrin spur gears?

talking to mike at rcmonster about gearing issues with the 1717 motor and he said he would make plastic spur gears if we wanted. i have one in my 1/8 scale buggy for a year now with no isssues. IDK the cost until i find out how many to make.


what tooth count will fit without modding the chassis?


opinions please?

Better to make pinions. Spur gears have a significantly lower impact on your gearing. One tooth on your pinion is worth 4 on a spur. Most racers use the spur as fine tuning. My two cents....again.

i agree but going to such a low tooth count pinion is just too small for the pinion to survive. i figure one tooth lower on the pinion and 4 to 8 more teeth on the spur to make it more track geared.
