Will a Hostile plastic spur hold up to an OBR 34ss?

[Cooper04]

Hey guys. I’m supposed to be getting my engine back from OBR soon and wanted to gear it up from the 17/57 gearing to 19/55 but my only option right now is the hostile set with a plastic spur gear. Do you know if it’ll hold up to the engines power or not? I don’t jump my car any and mainly just bash in grass fields if that changes much.

no . with my obr 30.5 they didn't last, doubt they will with a 34. i currently run a poopy china one and its been flawless.

Thanks. I was really wanting the ddm black magic gears but the set I wanted was out of stock. Might just wait on that then

Oh I didn’t know that. Any alternatives then? I saw blackbone gears but they needed a blackbone clutchbell too and I didn’t really want to end up spending that much

Rovan… they are fine… I’ve stripped one and I was beating the absolute out of mine

blackbone or china

Hostile spurs will last providing your clutch housing bearings are good and you don't over gear causing clutch slip, it's excessive heat that kills them.
Btw black magic gears are crap

I think blackbone is the best choice . because it has a lower weight . I have black magic 19/55, but I think it's too heavy.in my opinion . lighteen spur gear can deliver slightly higher power on the rear wheels. what do you think ? I want to try it.

I have an obr 30.5 with hostile 19/55 gearing on it and i beat the hell out of it. I've had those gears for a couple years on it and they've held up just fine.
