Cam Buckets for Re-grinds?

[WP3223]

Doing the research to see if running R&D regrinds will be a good choice for a rec ski? My 2013 Cams do not currently have cam gears available, which is another reason I am thinking about "pre 2012" cams.

One point of contention I am finding is the possibility of accelerated bucket wear with cams. So what would be the best choice for RC2/3 re-grinds - Riva cam buckets, or coated OEM buckets? Not sweating the difference in cost, just want to make things as reliable as possible @9k+. Hopefully this is a realistic goal.

I had RC3's with stock buckets. was fine to 9500rpm... but I've heard a lot of feed back that some people are smashing them. Depends really..

Where can the OEM buckets be coated at? Are they as good as the aftermarket buckets after the coating?

Thank you TJ!

The no gears available thing is what got me thinking about cams in the first place. Now that you saved the day with the new part #, I can keep it simple & just do the gears.

Jerry,

Thanks for getting the new p/n gears right up in the store! They are exactly what I need, and I'm sure they will also be benefiting quite a few SVHO's soon.
