The metal gears with the plastic transmission, can be quite noisy. But with the aluminum transmission housing and just the right amount of Grease it is actually very silent. I really appreciate you watching and commenting bro, thank you so much 👊😉
Thanks for showing the install. I just ordered it that part last night. I also got the Reefs 99 steering servo after mine died. I’ll rebuild it the old one as a back up no more plastic gears.
It's a pleasure 👍 thank you for watching and commenting ☺️ I replaced my server with the Injora coreless Servo 11kg definitely a massive improvement over the original, just a pity it's not waterproof
thanks for the video. my plastic etsy printed gears just blew up, so the injoras are on the way. looks like appropriate use of grease, just enough, but not too much.
No problem dude, I thank you for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛 I can say that these gears are pretty well made. I spent a good portion of my life working on winches of sailing boats, and putting too much grease is never a good thing all you want to do is take away the friction. But I will tell you that I had to open up the gearbox again to put more grease as they were very noisy.
@@JUSTHAVEFUNRC Are they low range gears. If so that would be normal because with low range gears the reduction is so low it’s like using full throttle with the trail gears. Just a little throttle gets those low range gears moving fast.When you go full throttle with tail gears you’ll hear the whine also. A smooth gear noise is fine and that’s normal but if it sounds like ratchety like there’s some dirt in the tranny something is wrong. Maybe miss aligned gears or bad gear molding.
Thank you so much blackfox! I'm really glad to hear you find them helpful. It makes all the effort a person put into these videos with it. Happy holidays bro ⛄🎄🎅

It will be a little quieter if you got an aluminum transmission housing and just wiped some grease on the inside of the case to help dampen the sound. Should quiet up a bit after running them for awhile too.
I really appreciate that information, I had to open it up and put a bit more grease which really did help make it quieter, and yes that's one of my next things I want at aluminum transmission case. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
I put the same gears on my bronco and my don't do that noise 🤔🤔 the grease i put was the hight perfomance from traxxas, the same they recomend for trx-4 👍 Good vibes
Don't worry bro it's perfectly fine I just wasn't ready for the noise difference between the plastic to the metal gears. There's nothing wrong with the grease I used as it is a high viscosity high temperature Grease using Traxxas grease would probably be a lower quality
Thanks bro, I appreciate it 😊😊 That's the problem with metal straight cut gears, at least we can give them hell on the trail and nothing should break 😅😁
Make sure your driveshafts are in-phase. Common problem I see when people go to U joint style driveshaft. Just a friendly reminder to check because I sometimes misalign mine
It wasn't difficult, try the meus ones out. I would have but I live in Portugal. If you do please let me know what you think of them 😉 Thank you very much for watching and commenting ✌️😁
Anytime bro!! Definitely!!! Injora are not big in providing instructions 😅 This was one of the reasons I decided to start making videos on installing their parts!! I thought it would be quite handy for quite a few people without getting into the hobby. I remember the first time I got a package from them! I was like very nice but where are the instructions 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyway bro thank you so much I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. ✌️😉
You could probably install the pinion using a metal bench vice. Gently and slowly press it on, being careful not to damage the capacitors. Only issue I see is how to get it off again if you ever need to maintenance the motor or change gears again. Seems like a once and done scenario. Also, I think I'd pool a bit more grease in the bottom of the case, that could continually cycle and freshen the lubrication. But these are not high speed cars, and probably won't have a lot of mileage compared to racers, so maybe it's not needed.
I installed the pinion gear with a pair of pliers and had absolutely no problems, now removing it is definitely not going to be an easy task without pinion remover! About the application of the Grease all I can say is I went on two different courses on how to maintain electric and normal winches on sailing boats and I was taught to never put too much grease as all it does is cause restriction. If they are going to be running for a long time on the lots of pressure then more grease of course he's going to be beneficial. But for the speeds we are running on these little cars a thin layer is more than enough. I did recently open it up and put more grease in when I replaced the gearbox housing from plastic to aluminum. But still didn't overdo it. Really appreciate you watching and commenting
I'm sorry to hear that I've had a few people tell me now they've been the motor shop trying to install the metal pinion gear. I didn't have too much trouble but then I am very used to working on the mechanical stuff as I've been doing it my whole life. I use the bent nose pliers to get an even and straight push on the pinion gear to get it on. On the back side of the motor I put a small piece of paper between the pliers and place the pliers on the back end of the shaft so I could push it down straight and only apply force directly down on the shaft without pushing the shaft through the motor or bending it. If it does not want to go on smoothly take a piece of sandpaper and just send the tip of the motor shaft at tiny bit just to make it slide on a bit easier
It wasn't difficult to get the factory pinion gear off, just use the small flat screwdriver, to push it off The part that is difficult is fitting the metal pinion gear!
@rcfungames Thanks. It's done. I just pried it with some pliers. But I messed up. I bought metal gears that are the same ratio. 🤦♂️ Oh well, at least they def won't break now, and everything got a good coating of ceramic lube.
Thank you man I really appreciate the tip, I've got one on order, and I'm going to order a brushless system for my other one, to see what I prefer 😁 Thank you for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
Nice video thanks. Are those two metal rods included? I got an aluminium gearbox cover, and am waiting for these metal gears to arrive. I didn't want to open the stock gearbox, but I think I need those two rods if injura didn't include them 😢
I really appreciate it thank you very much 😉 Sadly no they were not included in the kit, you are going to have to remove them from your other gearbox I'm sure somebody will manufacture them soon enough. Thank you for watching 🤜💥🤛
Hi Ryan, on my TRX 4M bronco yesterday I added the injora motor as well as Traxxas metal gears for front and rear Differential, I even put white lithium grease in the gears front and back, as well as the transmission gearbox. But for some reason, I am getting the front wheels that are kind of like the best way I can describe it sputtering any suggestion, and what may be the cause of this? I also have the metal injora Drive shaft.
Hi bro, this could be a bit difficult but I did notice after fitting metal gears and everything that they definitely have a little bit more play between the teeth then the plastic gears. But to try and narrow down where the issue is coming from, take the drivelines off from your diffs and check if it's coming from the gearbox, if the gearbox runs smoothly with no sputtering it's further forward. Then check the axles by turning them with your fingers and checking if they have a smooth action, if you can feel any tight spots, if you don't notice anything in the gearbox and the axle then it could be the angles from your axle to the gearbox on the driveline that is causing the sputtering. So start with the gearbox and remove the drivelines completely and check if it's running nice and smoothly. Try these few steps and see if you can figure out exactly where it's coming from then let me know so we can see what we can do. 😉👍
@@rcfungames I put back the plastic front and rear differential gears to see if it would continue to keep doing it and they did. so then upon further investigation, I noticed it was the front driveshaft. If somehow I push the front differential up towards the shock It was stop and run normal. I don’t know what I should do if I should just replace the whole driveshaft again? Do you know by any chance Traxxas makes their own metal driveshaft?
@@eckos2310 sounds like the driveshaft is binding. Do you have longer shocks and high clearance chassis links? If so, use spacers to lengthen the upper chassis links. This will "roll" the front axle so the diff housing is angled up more toward the gearbox.
Thank you another great video. I have a question would you recommend getting these gears or stay with the Traxxas one which are plastic but low gear? The only reason why I ask is question is because I have have already upgraded to the Traxxas plastic one low gear, but I was thinking about getting these metal gears.
Thank you bro, I really appreciate that😊🤙 Until you have problems with the plastic gears, I would say, don’t change them, the metal years are very nice but are very noisy, and by making everything metal we are not leaving weak points, so when something breaks, it’s gonna be bad…. As you know, I do these videos for content for my TH-cam channel, but I would not have changed my gears because I had had no trouble with them and they were nice and quiet when running . I also put in the metal gears for the fact that this little thing weighs more than 1.2 kg Next, I will be trying one of the 45 ton motors and a brushless set up for the other one to see what I prefer . Thank you as well for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
@@rcfungames I do have the INJORA 180 Brushed Motor 48T with Stainless Steel Pinion, as well as the Traxxas TRX-4M Metal Differential Gears Axles Front and Rear 9779 and INJORA +2mm Thread Extended Stainless Steel Front Rear Axle Shafts. But have not installed any of it yet! Waiting on some parts.
@@eckos2310 well all I can say is you will not be disappointed, so far I am blown away with the quality I've had from Injora I have done all that besides the motor to my 2 trx4Ms Here is the video of me installing it on the Bronco th-cam.com/video/odpht6weSU0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Backwoods, I really appreciate that info 🙏 This is the first time I fit metal gears besides my scx24, and I knew they were going to make more noise but I wasn't expecting this. I put a bit more grease than what you saw on the footage and it's a lot better now. Thank you very much for watching and commenting as I really appreciate it ✌️😉❤️
Hi! just subbed to your channel. I have some upgrades from Injora coming for my defender trx4m and one of them is the low metal reduction set and this video will be very helpful in the assembly process. Just one quick question , what kind of grease do you use on them and what do you recommend? I read on comments high viscosity high temperature Grease but was wondering if you can recommend me a good grease.
First of all thank you very much for the support and subscribing to my channel 🤜💥🤛 I really appreciate it 😊 In my opinion definitely one of the best upgrades for the Traxxas TRX4M is the reduction gear set! I'm not using anything specific I am just using high temperature grease that I had lying around from working on my real cars. So far it has done a great job on the RC crawlers It stays in place and provides the lubrication that is needed and it doesn't have too much viscosity to cause extra load on the system. I am using a Lucas high temperature Grease. If you're going to be running in water I've also had no problems with this grease mixing with the water and haven't found any water in any of my axles or gearboxes So so far I am more than happy with it. You could also just run a waterproof grease from Lucas I'm sure that would work perfectly fine too. As a person doesn't spend much time with the throttle flat out so there is not really that much heat to worry about! Wish you the best of luck with your build, anything I can help with just let me know 👊😉
@@rcfungames yeah, I Dremel'd about .01mm down on each tooth and it worked, but my motor was hit to the touch? Is the metal straining the motor? I'll have to get grease. Any recommendations? Thank you by the way.
Yes they are, the only two components that change between the two rigs is the high clearance links and the drive shafts, and of course the bumpers. Besides that all the other upgrades are compatible.
In my opinion I don't think they require Grease! They run smoothly and quietly without any Grease. And in my opinion it gives it more of a reason to fail! But this is my opinion many other people believe thoroughly in packing them with Grease.
Hi bro, This is high temperature graphite Grease, the brand I am using is Castrol You can also use a waterproof Lucas or any other brand Grease. I use this grease because I do lots of work on normal cars and I've got it lying around!
Honestly cannot for the life of me get the pinion gear on, and if i do I'm afraid the motor will be munted. Can't figure out if poorly designed or poorly machined.
Bro it was difficult to push the pinion gear on, trying use a bent nose pliers that can go from the back of the motor right over the front, so that you keep the pressure on the shaft and not push the shaft into the motor. It definitely wasn't easy for me to get it on. Let me know how it goes 🤞🤞
@@rcfungames I've tried that, I've tried multigrips, vice grips and nothing's worked. I'm off to a workshop this morning to use their bench vice!! I'll let you know what happens...
@@rcfungamesso this is just terrible design/machining. I got it on using a vice, which has pushed the shaft out the back of the motor another 1-2mm. I'm pretty unimpressed, and think Injora should pay for a new motor. Maybe that's their evil plan? Trash the stock motor and replace it with one of theirs...
@@lsear2905 bro that's not good, I definitely struggled to get mine on. I'm going to be doing the metal gears on the defender soon I will make a very in detailed video how I fitted the pinion gear. I'm sorry I couldn't help you anymore. The motor will no longer be good if the shaft moved, and now you going to have the trouble that you can't remove the pinon gear.
I didn't film me putting the pinion gear on as it was very difficult to get on!! Many people have bent the motor shaft trying to get it on! I managed to do it but it was very difficult. It's easier to buy the motor with the pinion gear already on it
I thought the same thing but once I put a little bit more grease than I normally do and after running it a few times it no longer makes that noise. But of course plastic gears will always be quieter. Thank you for watching and commenting 🤜🤛
I destroyed my motor trying to push the small gear in. Just to try if i was at fault, i even tried to hit with a hammer and a metal plate and the gear isn't going all the way in, it's perfectly aligned even when spinning but it won't go in. Injora parts are total disgrace, shitty tolerace and poor quality. Never going to buy from them again
I get it bro I understand the situation I've had a few things of this which weren't precisely made!! I have only fitted one of their metal pinion gears on a stock Traxxas motor! And it was extremely difficult to get it on. But with a bent nose pliers I managed to support the back of the engine shaft at the same time as pushing the pinion gear on!! I did send the motor shaft just a little with some sandpaper for it to go on a bit easier! But I do think it's easier to order one of their motors with the metal pinion gear already fitted. I'm sorry you feel that way about their products as so far I am quite happy with the quality for the price.

In my opinion definitely one of the best upgrades for the Traxxas TRX4M is the reduction gear set!
I'm not using anything specific I am just using high temperature grease that I had lying around from working on my real cars.
So far it has done a great job on the RC crawlers
It stays in place and provides the lubrication that is needed and it doesn't have too much viscosity to cause extra load on the system.
I am using a Lucas high temperature Grease.
If you're going to be running in water I've also had no problems with this grease mixing with the water and haven't found any water in any of my axles or gearboxes
So so far I am more than happy with it.
You could also just run a waterproof grease from Lucas I'm sure that would work perfectly fine too.
As a person doesn't spend much time with the throttle flat out so there is not really that much heat to worry about!
Wish you the best of luck with your build, anything I can help with just let me know 👊😉
Do you need the grease? Stupid question? I put mine together and it wont spin. It looks like the metal pinon gear is like a tad too big.
Yes I definitely recommend grease, are you sure you got the gears in the right places?
@@rcfungames yeah, I Dremel'd about .01mm down on each tooth and it worked, but my motor was hit to the touch? Is the metal straining the motor? I'll have to get grease. Any recommendations? Thank you by the way.
Are these gears compatible for the hi country
Yes they are, the only two components that change between the two rigs is the high clearance links and the drive shafts, and of course the bumpers.
Besides that all the other upgrades are compatible.
Thanks brother😎
Straight cut gears make noise. That’s normal. Use more grease
Thanks 👍 I already did put more grease and it helped but I like smooth and quiet 😅🤣
Thank you for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
Thank you
It's a pleasure thank you for watching and taking time to leave a comment 🤜💥🤛
I can’t really see how the gears are placed back in
Check this video out

I have the lower gears to put in but they are plastic so this might be a dumb question but do I not need grease since they are plastic
In my opinion I don't think they require Grease! They run smoothly and quietly without any Grease.
And in my opinion it gives it more of a reason to fail!
But this is my opinion many other people believe thoroughly in packing them with Grease.
What name is grease bro😅
Hi bro,
This is high temperature graphite Grease, the brand I am using is Castrol
You can also use a waterproof Lucas or any other brand Grease.
I use this grease because I do lots of work on normal cars and I've got it lying around!
@@rcfungames thank you for the answer
Honestly cannot for the life of me get the pinion gear on, and if i do I'm afraid the motor will be munted. Can't figure out if poorly designed or poorly machined.
Bro it was difficult to push the pinion gear on, trying use a bent nose pliers that can go from the back of the motor right over the front, so that you keep the pressure on the shaft and not push the shaft into the motor.
It definitely wasn't easy for me to get it on.
Let me know how it goes 🤞🤞
@@rcfungames I've tried that, I've tried multigrips, vice grips and nothing's worked. I'm off to a workshop this morning to use their bench vice!! I'll let you know what happens...
@@lsear2905 damn bro... I hope you get it on!
@@rcfungamesso this is just terrible design/machining. I got it on using a vice, which has pushed the shaft out the back of the motor another 1-2mm. I'm pretty unimpressed, and think Injora should pay for a new motor. Maybe that's their evil plan? Trash the stock motor and replace it with one of theirs...
@@lsear2905 bro that's not good, I definitely struggled to get mine on.
I'm going to be doing the metal gears on the defender soon I will make a very in detailed video how I fitted the pinion gear.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you anymore.
The motor will no longer be good if the shaft moved, and now you going to have the trouble that you can't remove the pinon gear.
The pinion gear is kicking my ass 🙄
I didn't film me putting the pinion gear on as it was very difficult to get on!! Many people have bent the motor shaft trying to get it on!
I managed to do it but it was very difficult.
It's easier to buy the motor with the pinion gear already on it
Big noise 😫idon't like it
I thought the same thing but once I put a little bit more grease than I normally do and after running it a few times it no longer makes that noise.
But of course plastic gears will always be quieter.
Thank you for watching and commenting 🤜🤛
I destroyed my motor trying to push the small gear in. Just to try if i was at fault, i even tried to hit with a hammer and a metal plate and the gear isn't going all the way in, it's perfectly aligned even when spinning but it won't go in. Injora parts are total disgrace, shitty tolerace and poor quality. Never going to buy from them again
I get it bro I understand the situation I've had a few things of this which weren't precisely made!!
I have only fitted one of their metal pinion gears on a stock Traxxas motor! And it was extremely difficult to get it on.
But with a bent nose pliers I managed to support the back of the engine shaft at the same time as pushing the pinion gear on!!
I did send the motor shaft just a little with some sandpaper for it to go on a bit easier!
But I do think it's easier to order one of their motors with the metal pinion gear already fitted.
I'm sorry you feel that way about their products as so far I am quite happy with the quality for the price.
