When off roading " bashing " is it better to use a steel or plastic spur gear. I keep destroying my pinion when I use a steel spur gear when I take it off road .any suggestions?

If you are killing your pinion, something is wrong. Either mesh, or the motor mount is bent...or motor bearings shot. I use steel spur and a pretty stout motor on my Granite, no gear issues at all.
I'm using the stock pinion along with theb4s slipper assembly everything working great for now it would seem.I haven’t tried a steel spur yet on my 3s rigs but I think I will. I would think you would need a hardened steel pinion as well though.
I just dropped that same pinion gear in mine.I run the 4s slipper assembly in both my Sentons. Ones a 3s the other is 4s. The stock Senton pinions are softer metal for use on the plastic spur. 4s Spurs seem to be harder steel, the pinions wear out quickly. I’m running Robinson Racing pinions now, they’re hardened steel.

Well thats good to know so I'm probably going to get some. So far its been working good but I like to bash pretty hard myself so its probably going to be my next investment. And they have them in the. 8mod as well correct?I run the 4s slipper assembly in both my Sentons. Ones a 3s the other is 4s.

Put it in a vice. Or flat hammer and anvil or similar.My mother does seem to be crooked. My mother mount looks a little strange too. A slight bend in it. I'll see what I can do. Thanks guys.
I looked on their site but how do I purchase from them? Wouldn't let me do anything g but look at the product..I run the 4s slipper assembly in both my Sentons. Ones a 3s the other is 4s.

I use these as well on my 4s typhon. Never chipped one tooth...I used them on 3s as well and beat the doodoo out of them...I run the 4s slipper assembly in both my Sentons. Ones a 3s the other is 4s.

I purchased mine from Jenny's RC last year. You can order the spur gear by itself and use the 3s assembly.I looked on their site but how do I purchase from them? Wouldn't let me do anything g but look at the product..
I have the 4s steel spur gear assembly already with the metal input fears and crown gears. I meant the hardened pinion on Robertson racing.I purchased mine from Jenny's RC last year. You can order the spur gear by itself and use the 3s assembly.
You also have to add a slipper pad as well if you use the 3s assembly if im not mistaken. But I just got the 4s I put the 6s from an infraction in my senton.I purchased mine from Jenny's RC last year. You can order the spur gear by itself and use the 3s assembly.
