$16, hardened steel, and a bunch of different size options.

Does anyone have firsthand experience?

Would it fit on a Fireteam? I think it’s the same spur fitment as an Infraction but am not 100% sure.

Thanks

Edit: looks like they sell a Kraton version as well, even though I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing.

DON'T DO IT!!!

I bought a spur gear from them and put it in the wifey stretched typhon with a max 6 + tp 4060 1750kv. It lasted for about a month before one day damn near all the teeth just got ate all the way up. It was worse than my traxxas gear in the XRT.

When it comes to spur gears and pinions be careful with generic offerings. I prefer to stay with Stock or Upgrade Name brands.
Try using an Arrma 46T spur. What I would do. You plan on speed running your FT??
Theres plenty of room for larger pinions, before you need go to a smaller spur. I think an 18T pinion might even fit with the 50T stocker FT spur. Hope you have a good fan solution in place already.

I agree. Don’t cheap out with gears. Depending on what they are going in I only run Saga, Tekno, or Robinson gears. Speed runners get strictly Saga, although I’ve heard good things about SpeedTek(sp?).

Thanks man. That’s exactly what I needed to hear.

I have a big, lower kv motor on the shelf. Need a smaller spur to correct for the RPM difference and use a normal range of pinions.

For anyone curious, it ran 52mph with a 4092 1650kv, Firma 160, and 18T pinion. Motor was cool to the touch.
