(GPM.MZM.TitaniumMainGear == SUCKAGE) = 1

Post by pimpsmurf »

I recieved my alloy maingear today, and it, as suspected, came as a single unit. It was not 2 pieces. The titanium main gear comes with a possibly steel axle, to go into the titanium gear. This causes all sorts of problems, and for me, let to erosion of the tips of the axle to the point that it popped out of the main gear bearings and caused binding which ate my lipo pack. major pain in the ass IMHO.

The alloy is lighter (balanced drilled holes) which should add some torque (not to mention alloy is lighter I believe.) 1 piece with no removable axle, and probably as strong as anyone would ever need (I'll let you know when I get this 3 cell lipo and nelly deluxe in it)

Anyway, I figured I could steer people away from that piece of crap.

Of coarse, if you are going to be anal about cleaning out the gearbox, don't run in dusty environments, putting it in a shelf queen for bragging rights, etc, you might be fine.
