Integy's 50T Delrin. They come in 49T, 50T, and 51T. My theory is Delrin would be better for the drive line than metal.

Oh I think metal is complete overkill, and way too much rotational mass, especially at this small scale. Delrin was actually specifically developed for gears. Its super tough and self lubricating. :-o

Hell I know a metal is overkill like shooting pigeons with a shrapnel cannon, got an aluminum HR 49T because it was the only one available at the time, with Lithium power and slightly modified motors it shredded my pinions no matter how careful I was being, go delrin.
