is it brushless ready with metal gears

The spur is plastic, the pinion gear is metal (I've never seen it any other way). All the gears inside the transmission are plastic. Yes, you can upgrade it to brushless but you'll need to change out the esc also.

No. I just bought a new Milwaukee hammer drill/driver and it is brushless, and it came with the newer 4.0 amp batteries. I've only had it a couple of weeks, but so far, so good.it is noticeably more powerful.

Yes brushless fast and takes a beating I did manage to strip steering servo gears but holds up better than most to the abuse I gave it

I suppose it is possible that some were made with plastic gears and some were metal. The one I got when ordered from Amazon has plastic gears. I havent found this to be a problem. No need to force the gears. When the resistance makes it hard to turn, I have found that that is a good indication that the batch is done. If you force it, the gears will probably break...so don't force it.

According to the Festool info it does not have a brushless motor. Having said that, I've used tools a ton and the only tools I've ever had to change brushes on are a couple of old 1970s routers I bought used. The Festool CSX is smooth as silk when running

I think you might have to buy the motor before you do check eBay sometimes I think they may sell the gears I am not sure.

I do not believe it is brushless. Check the parts replacement page from dewalt here: http://servicenet.dewalt.com/Products/Detail?productNumber=DCF883L2 The first replacement part is the brush ring assembly. Despite this, I own this tool and love it.

Just got mine in yesterday. I can confirm that the gears are metal and the gear box is very easy to open-up and grease.

No, it comes with the carburetor, air filter, pull start and the one way bearing. Clutch assembly will need to be added to the motor. The spur gear is considered a part of the transmission and you may be able to find one with it included.

Absolutely brushed. As far as I know the brushless tech has only been implemented on some of their newer drills/drivers.

This motor comes with the pull start only. There is no flywheel, clutch or spur gears shipped with this motor.

I only ran this once with the stock motor and speed control to test it out because I bought it to run brushless with the all steel gears that it has. It's not very fast out of the box, probably like 15 mph . I never tried it with a Lipo, I removed the factory motor and esc and put in a 3800kv brushless

Yes, I've popped open the gearbox to replace the spring (for bettr compression and higher fps) the gears and body are metal, the piston is polymer, as well as the guide.

Mine was already tuned. Aside from maybe a minor adjustment to tuning it's ready to go.

it comes ready with drive wheel and sample of flux core. I use gas and solid wire but it works either way

Now that's a good one..I went and looked..the housing (for the gears) is plazdic..and (without taking it apart) I suspect the gears are too..Mjr
