Sounds brushless but is just an old 19 turn.

The metal counter gear must be the cause of the whine.

Default gears are here !

the new gear next to the kyosho OT-85 center gear.


the bearings are a pain to press in, but it can be done. Black delrin and 32 pitch. the gear maker sure knows his stuff. it should hold better than pargu2000s, my pargu gear worn off after about 25 packs...
