Kraton Highest quality pinions?

[spence]

Hi all, I noticed crappy pinions lead to the fast destruction of spur gears. So, I just picked up a tekno rc pinion gear that was a decent price, looks pretty nice.... Robinson racing pinion gears surprisingly aren't good, they are super soft! I bought one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tekno-Rc-M5-Pinion-Gear-14T-Mod1-5Mm-Bore-M5-Set-Screw-Tkr4174-SCT410-EB48-2/182289077667?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Hopefully I'll have better luck with this pinion? The pinion quality is crucial. Maybe I didn't get the xtra hard ones?



Thanks

P.S.
happy the lawsuit (I heard) isn't taking down arrma, still bummed about the nero and nero big rock tho.

I've only had experience with the stock pinion and now a 15 tooth Tekno. I've been impressed with it so far and will probably be my go to from now on when it comes to pinions

I run tekno 17t on my outcast and my kraton they are great and I haven't broke 1 yet and I only run 6s.

Cool guys, I just figured since tekno is so well known for driveline parts I thought I would give their pinions a try lol

Love the large set screw in the Tenko
Makes a world of difference over fighting the stock one

I know stock is a 2.0mm driver, is it a 2.5mm in the tekno?

 

[Mr.Duke]

Yeah, 5m that takes a 2.5 driver

Strange that the RRP didn't hold up for you. I run RRP on my stampede against a plastic spur, but I also run RRP on my savage flux which is a steel spur and it's probably quite a bit heavier than the Arrma trucks. It's also the narrow HPI steel spur that is similar to the center diff spurs on the Aarma's. It's been holding up fine for 8 months or so.

Rrp are good quality 2 just not what I'm running my lhs Carries slot of tekno stuff I have the rrp on my typhon

I use RR, Tekno, and just picked up some sagacustomrc pinions for my leopard 5892 1340kv 8mm bore for xmaxx project.

I've had great success with Robinson Racing gears.

You have to buy the hardened RR pinions 12XX with XX being teeth you want. Although I did just shred one because it came loose on the motor shaft and mis-aligned with the spur that seems fine still.
