Has anyone made progress on beefier gears? I know the World Challenge guys running the MTX-75 were stripping the teath on the gears because they had so much power. they didnt have issues with the synchros.....

When speaking to Leo Capaldi, he said his gears cost him around $5000. Unless these gears are made differently than most other aftermarket car parts (CNC Machined) then wouldnt it cost less to have those same gears just duplicated again by the same CNC machine? Like most other things, wouldnt price come down with volume, economies of scale???? or no....?

I would imagine most of the cost is in making the first part (I know it is) and now that the machine has the specs of the parts in its memory, all you have to do is punch in how many copies you want, like a paper copy machine. Tell me if I am wayyyy off here or not.....
