Stupid idler gear!
 

I havn't been running my truck for the past 2 months, been so mad at the idler gear stripping for the 3rd time, i have a mach .26 thats whats stripping this poorly casted metal idler gear. I realy wanted forwards and revers so i spent alot getting all the parts in aluminum or steel to find out the crap idle gear would be the weak link and no one makes a hardend steel one. So i might as well go for the forwards only conversion, so if you lot out there could give me your views on the forward only conversion from RR i'd like to hear. All the good and all the bad stuff on it please.

Thanks
Jonny

I run a mach 26 in my t maxx and i just bought the RRP hardened steel FOC conversion kit, its good quality and easy to install, reverse is nice but, everything works alot better with out it.

Just found out you can get a hardend steel idler gear from untimate engineering but i'm happy with my FOC now so.
