wiggy2k7 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hi guys, I'm wanting to put a 17t pinion on my Kyosho DRX VE. The genuine Kyosho on is a bit pricey, would this one work ??? I dont mind paying the extra but if the cheaper one will be just as good then i'll go with that one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their hardened steel was brittle. Was a 14T from a XO1 so hopefully the larger 17T will be more robust. I'd never buy a Traxxas again. The best I've used so far have been Novak for me but they've shut up shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine went when I landed from a small speed bump with the throttle on. I have however never bust any others doing the exact same thing. Technically supposed to land without throttle and then gun it, might have survived that way, I'll never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
