Default Kevlar diff gear

At the time i wanted one nobody stocked them in the Uk. I just ordered from tcmodels.net

I ordered 2 of them and the 2 alloy idler gears for safe measure. They are cheap, kevlar diff being only $ 5.90 and the metal idler the same price.

The postage is roughly £12 so it is a bit expensive but is very quick and took less than 48hrs. Even if you bought these items in the UK the mark up price is 100% ( idler gear is £10+ at je spares).

Ive run my monkey for 3 meetings at Torch which is high grip astro with jumps etc. And the upgraded gearbox is still super smooth wtih no issues.

Before, i shredded 2idlers so this upgrade is definitely worth it.

I would also invest in some ceramic diff balls.
