Wondering if there are any metal gears for the Granite Voltage?

This is good information! Any chance you could break down your suggested upgrades with part numbers or links to items on Amazon?What @Cheapbastard said. I've looked extensively, even tried a couple ideas of making one out of other parts. The drive gear that engages the idler gear is 32p/0.8mod 15T pitch so I tried making something up using a 15T pinion gear but I've yet to find a way to make up a shaft/spur/slipper combo that works. Even if I did figure out a way odds are the diff output shafts would snap from the torque with brushless power if driven hard. The diff output shafts are the next weakest link after the plastic diff output cups.
I own a voltage and found the best things that you can upgrade are tie rods (Traxxas adjustable metal ones), metal diff outdrive cups, 12mm hex wheels and tires, servo and servo saver, and shocks if you can find a pair that fit (80-85mm that are no wider than the 3s shock width). If wanting to convert to brushless go with a 2s system with a moderate KV motor but not too high of a KV paired with a decent radio and receiver. Oh yeah, T-Bone racing also makes bumpers for the voltage and are usually in stock because nobody really buys anything for the voltage LOL.
But yeah, no chassis upgrades, no ability to use a bigger battery in the stock battery tray, no replaceable motor mounts, no better spur/gear combos ☹
