White cogs and blue ones....

[mgjackson]

On the Trex 450, is there any difference, other than the colour...managed to strip the gears on the tail cog, but can only source a blue one. I'm assuming they can be mixed and matched.

Thanks,
Matthew

As far as I know the only difference is the colour? I stripped my main gear a while ago and could only get blue ones, now has blue main and white auto gears. The blue ones are for the V2 I think and white for the older versions such as the "s", someone will no doubt correct me here if Im wrong. Either way have noticed no difference at all.

Hope this helps

think the teeth number is different on the blue - better order a blue tail drive gear too just incase.
I know there are some white main gears from older x and XL 450's that are different size. As I got the blue and it didnt fit my tail drive gear.

I think if you have the 450 se or newer then you should be ok just ordering the main gear without having to order a tail drive. again not 100% so perhaps just get both to be safe



edit:sorry yeah I see you said the tail gear now

Thanks. Its the tail gear I stripped and it has the same as no of teeth at the white one. I guess I'm just being paranoid :-)

the only difference i found was the older white gear give off more static than the blue one.
