I just did mine. Replaced topshaft and bearings as well as going back to new plastic idlers. I found that the topshaft was wearing away the first idler, which was leaving aluminium filings inside the gearbox. The first ali idler was worn with angled teeth, as if contact with the topshaft was not square. Hopefully the new bearings and hard case will sort this out? The second ali idler, the one that drives the diff was not worn at all. I caught it all before a failure anyway.
I wonder if its best to run steel topshaft, plastic idler, ali idler then to diff?

I used to ran all plastic. Switched to full Alu and going to try it out in the outdoor season. While running plastic idler gears I broke 3. The top one every time. So I guess you should be allright with a plastic idler, but it must not be sloppy else it will break.

I will post one asap. It's no that special. Just playing around.

I've ran a 7.5 inside and used about 1400mAh when running 5.5 mins, so for 9 minutes with a 6.5 I guess I will drain ~2100mAh, which is fine. I run 4200mAh batteries. I just hope the batteries will give me punch throughout the whole run.
