- description
The L85 and its R85 counterpart run a gearbox of their own, and upgrade parts for it are thin on the ground. This is the SHS steel gear set cut for that platform.
Steel gears are the usual answer to a gearbox that keeps stripping teeth behind a heavier spring. On a platform this specific, the harder part is finding a set at all.
Fitment is the whole question here. A set cut for a Version 2 or Version 3 shell will not go in, so what matters is the platform rather than the ratio.

Good to know before you buy
Our supplier lists this for the L85 and R85 together. No ratio is given, so if you are building towards a particular rate of fire, ask us before ordering rather than assuming one.
Frequently asked questions
What ratio is it?
Our supplier does not publish one and we are not going to guess. If the ratio matters to your build, ask and we will check the set when it is in front of us.
Will it fit a standard Version 2 gearbox?
No. This is cut for the L85 and R85 gearbox, which is a design of its own.
Do I need anything else with it?
Shims at minimum, and the bushings are worth inspecting while the shell is open. Both are cheap set against a second strip-down.
