Ive been wondering the same thing,
I deal in parts as do'es Dave (Forgebear) and I've never heard of them or heard dave mention them (he's always hot on mentioning new parts that have or are comming out)
& this is the only time i have seen anyone say they have stainless steel gears, but who know's ?
they could be annodised black ?

[forgebear]

hi guys will see whats what with them and find out dave

Powder Coated maybe? But why not say so? Never have I seen stainless steel in any color but flat silver. Also his banner says new King Tiger,but if you click on that it become King Tiger metal upgrade tracks.

Didn't a company in Canada carry replacement HL gearboxes with CNC cut steel gears. If I have it correct they went out of business and caused a bit of fuss on the RCU site. From what I remember those gearboxes looked the same with blackened gear wheels.

Hi dave! Any more info? Are they stainless steel? Who makes them etc??

[forgebear]

I know Mato has had them for some time now. I didn't think there was much demand for them since most people who don't want the softer metal gears tend to go for the 3:1's/4:1's.

I can't say if its the same ones that used to be available but it is a good bet it is.

that is the standard steel gear box HL sells they are steel gears not stainless I have 5 sets and I can garantee they are steel and they are powdered steel gears not machined very smooth running but a bit heaver than the stock gears and can take a beating
