beebee,
Thank you! I will post up more picture tomorrow. But I will just reveal what is so special about these since the difference is quite hard to see. The material used for these gears are Titanium. Chris had done these on a CNC, but because Titanium is a very hard material to machined, these took a while to make. Before each gear is sent out, they will be run on a lathe to make sure they run perfectly. Another tip is to run brand new chains because of the tolerance on these, they are made to run with the mint condition of a new chain. A looser used one might have problems, although I am not 100% sure.
These will not wear like the aluminum versions by GPM. As some people know, GPM uses cheap grade aluminum on most of their parts, hence they are not the most durable. The following words are exactly what Chris told me, "These will NOT break, they will not even wear in like their aluminum counterparts.".
The Titanium versions will be a limited "Special" edition. After, alloy ones will be replacing them. There will be a lot more parts for the Kyosho HOR coming out in the near future.
Before I sign off, another teaser picture.
