I've seen some posts for this topic plastic over metal spur gears, but seems to go off topic about steering etc..
I've dropped off my car to get repaired and the shop stated not to go with a metal spur gear as it will damage the other components. I have an Absima Stoke 4s but I've upgraded the Motor and Esc (Hobby King EzRun Combo) so it is capable of taking 2x 3s batteries. Since upgrading the motor it's melted the plastic Spur Gear. Although the shop has stated to go with plastic as it's the weakest point to go wrong and cheaply to replace as stated in other posts. Is this a good idea if I want to run 6s setup on it. Even still if I had 2x 2s Batteries at least it still wouldn't burn out so quickly.
I understand I'd also have to get the 13T pinion gear also. Standard is 15T so would this give me more speed, as I'm not doing jumps with this I just want off road speed. I would of thought more Teeth on the gear would make it faster.
I don't want to buy a plastic spur gear for it to burn out after a few hours of running this like it's done since upgrading it.
As you can see from the parts list attached the only 6s Parts are the Spur Gear, Pinion & Shocks. The rest of the parts are across both models.
I've tried contacting Absima a number of times but haven't had any responses to my queries about this.
Thanks.
