i've asked people about the metal spur gear but knowbody ever responded. now for the cvds to break that's kind of weird, are you sure you're setting em' up right cause i've never heard anybody say that they break easily.

How did you break them? Hitting a kerb? that'll do it everytime.

Personally I wouldnt go with a metal spur, metal pinion and plastic spur for me
