metal v,s plastic

[pablo]

been running my sq baja with a plastic spur, they last a while but in the end they do shred been thinking of fitting a steel one all tho they ain,t cheap. are they better than plastic or can they cause other problems in the drive train, with there being no give in the steel ,:helpsmilie:

the only problem mate is the plastic spur is a weak part of the drive train but is the cheapest too so if you get a steel one theres no weak parts so if something was to go wrong the it would probably be the diff that lets go, what would you rather pay £5 for a spur gear or over £50 for a diff :blush: but sayin that i've run a steel spur for near 6-7 months now and i abuse my car and not had a problem to date mate. this is just my opinion some may say different but it's your choice and your buggy matey :cool2::cool2:

I run a plastic spur and after 9 months its still going strong :cool2: don't think I would even consider the extra cost for metal based on this experience.

Agree. I have only used plastic in the baja models and never a failure that was not my fault. :laugh:
