Anyone used these bits yet?

I've had no issue with my kit ones. What improvements are these meant to make? Naoto Matsukura used a CNC machines Ali gearbox at the worlds: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/yokomo/...ico2013092225/

I assume these are just from a stiffer/harder plastic?

Tried the gear-box last night. No difference on performance. Little bit stiffer. It's quite cheap so always good to try out.

It is just designed to be a bit stronger in use, as not to break the shock mount area, or as a performance tune?

Crap translation from Google (original message is Japanese); Teamyokomo: "When used with the midship B-MAX2 MR, is the gear box of 4 gear type. It has become a resin made ​​of high strength, and enhance resistance to crash resistance and chassis rigidity."

So, guess both. Another hard part is coming out soon:
B2-118MRH - Battery holder Hard

I'm hoping that alloy gear casing becomes available to buy. It looks nice. I'd imagine the full alloy chassis will be out too.

stop threads stripping?
