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.

Yeah got the ceramic balls and grease from RCL this morning (thanks guys awesome as always !!) - just need to order up the idlers and gear now.

Will probably just bulk up the order and get more spares from TC if needed, shame would always try and support the UK sellers where poss
