Gearing for brushless evader
Could anyone tell me about a good way to gear/strengthen my trans for a brushless motor. I don't have one yet, but I'm looking at getting the Novak Superport+5800.

For those people who used the HG Components aluminum B2 differential gear, did you have to get different bearings? If so, what?

Why get a steel or aluminum idler or diff gear. Just replace the idler every 25 runs or so(when you clean and relube the differential). It's very inexpensive($2.50-$3.00). And if you replace it before the teeth wear, the diff gear will last for a very long time. This is what I do with my RC10GT nitro truck, and I have a very fast motor on it. Trans diff gear last a long time if you replace the cheap idler gear often. Besides, if you make your trans to strong, you will be tempted to not tear the ball diff apart and clean it then relube it when you should (no longer than every 25 runs in my opinion). This is also what I do in my B4, XXT CR Graphite Plus, XXXT MF, and XXX BK.

Oh, didn't know the plastic was that bad. T4 RTR SE don't cost much more. Should've gotten one. They are tough. I know my old XXT CR Graphite Plus is tough, once I put an aluminum rear arm mount on it. That was the only weak link on the whole thing.
