Metal gears for marder
I have recently aquired a marder to play with...After about 15 minutes of running it stripped down the main spur gear.I'm curious if its a good plan to use all metal gears or if the spur hould be left plasic so that it breaks before other things do?

Steel for pinion, plastic for spur...like you said if something jams in drivesystem you have one point of failure (otherwise engine will jam then be damaged- most likely unrepairable)

I have the steel pinion and spur from rcnutshobbies, and I love it! One thing, though...the new gearing has more teeth than stock and it seems a bit slower off the line. Middle and top end speeds are great, but it doesn't have the bottom end, the take off speed, that I would like. 
Oh well.
Oh well.
