Default Re: Helical gear set for tamiya semi trans?

I got into a minor dispute with a guy om tamiya3speeds forum, did a pole on Scale4x4, and I have never heard of a gear failing/stripping in a semi or High Lift trans. So strength wise I see no need, and yeah, as tc1cat says, being helical metal gears, they would be quieter than straight cut metal gears, but I doubt quieter than the plastic.
Now, for unseen coolness and bragability about helical metal gears, **** yeah!!
I'd run my trans with no case or make a lexan one.
