![]() There are definitely multiple manufactures making the same application/ratio but the part numbers and 29 spline upgrades make me wonder as not all manufactures do that. I’d suspect some of their Toyota applications are in fact reboxed Nitro’s. Based on the part numbers they are using for their entire Toyota lineup. But a gear isn’t a gear.Įdit: Just took a look at a catalog Luke from Revolution emailed over. ![]() They might be a fantastic option, they might be a low quality steel from India.
