Helical cut gears apply their force over a larger contact area and across a broader rotational duration than straight cut gears. They are stronger, smoother and quieter, which is why we don't see straight cut gears used much for anything critical in "real life".

I would argue with strength on straight cut gear vs helical. All racing applications use straight cut gearboxes due to strength in "real life". I think helical has a longer durability due to less harshness applied at once (ie. they slide into gear vs push into gear if that makes sense to distribute force).

BTW - Thank you for the silicone diff setup tip, I did not know where to start, this gives me a good idea how to setup my Exb. :)
