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.

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
