1/14 truck gearbox helical cut metal gear set

Recommended Posts

Seen these a while back on Stellamodels website - does anyone have any experience with this set ?

Good ? Bad ? Worth bothering with ?

Very nicely made, but in brass rather than steel. My plastic gearbox held up to a 1/8 brushless being in it briefly, so I'd say the plastic and aluminium in the stock box is adequate for normal functional operation. Brass will also be heavier and add more inertia to the gearbox for acceleration and braking.

The std plastic gears have never given me any issues, but bear in mind the helical cut gears will impart side loads to the bearings in the gearbox that thay are not designed to take....
