so which idler should I get, nylon or aluminum?
I would imagine the aluminum would wear the diff gear quicker....? |

Nylon. better wear, lighter and quieter.

I have ordered one each of the metal and nylon idlers from TC Models and fitted one of each to the MM today. I have given it a test run in the pouring rain and its now super smooth I wish I had ordered a spare metal one though.

I have used the same bearings. Currently running one alloy and one White gear in my Mid motor car with no grease. I stripped and rebuilt my diff this week and couldn't see any wear on the gears dispite no lubrication grease ( there was grease residue from the bearings inside the cases though). This is with a 5.5t motor

Layshaft, alloy, nylon, diff. The gears are the ones from tcmodels. I did buy two of each as was going to run two alloy or two nylon to see what they were like
Have raced about 4 hours at cov with this setup and had no issues so far |
