Robinson Absolute spur gear?

Post by KidAgain »

What the heck are these Absolute spur gears about, can they be ran on a RC10 stealth?

They were supposed to be extra quiet due to the rubber insulator.

They are pretty nice and do seem to run smoother than a random kimbrough in my limited experience. They are softer and will loose teeth easier. When I was getting them for $6-7 it was a no brainier. I haven't seen any at that price in a long while.

Edit- I’m wrong, it’s the machined ones they had cheap and most are gone now.

Last I looked (a short while back) hobby king USA had them on sale cheap.
