General Main gear question

[D.O.G.]

I'm getting ready to order some main gears for my 450 and I would like to know what, if any, the difference between using slanted gear vs straight gears?

Both of mine have slanted they are supposed to be quieter. Remember to also change the pinion gear to slanted.

They are also a bit more stronger and smoother running.

I second that I have 2 trex 500s one on the slanted and its quieter than the 500 on the straight gear , the gear mesh is nicer too on the slanted the only down side is less pinions for the slanted mains I think there is only 11t or 13t unless you can find after market ones

Thanks you guys for that information. My X3 has the slanted gears and the 450 & 500 doesn't. I placed my order with Experience RC. and purchased a set of slanted gears for the 450 & 500 plus slanted motor pinion "11/12/13T"
