RC tanks with metal gearbox

Metal gearbox

— the gearbox in radio-controlled tanks is a key element of the transmission. Metal is considered the best option for gear parts — in particular, due to the fact that it is much stronger than plastic (which is also used in such mechanisms) and is better suited for powerful engines used in heavy large models. On the other hand, this material is not cheap. Therefore, metal gearboxes are found mainly in high-end models made on a large scale.
