This spring, I drove a Leopard in New York that was using plastic sprockets. We put a brand new sprocket on it, and within 4 sessions all of the teeth were completely ripped off. This track had some bumps, but overall was pretty smooth. Definately smoother than Bandi, and probably smoother than IMI as well. IMI is fairly rough the entire way around partly just because you’re at such a high speed the entire time.
Really, after my experience of ripping all the teeth off a plastic sprocket, I’d be wary of using one at all on a TaG car, on any track. Don’t know if anyone else uses them or not, but I would recommend either Kevlar or aluminum sprockets, then you don’t have to worry about it.
I have been using the Extron composite gears since the end of last season and have yet to rip any teeth off of a gear. Thats not to say that I haven’t cracked any of them though. They will not tolerate hitting the ground. As long as you don’t go boucing off and on the track alot they should hold up just fine.
