Default nitro gear & axle

Just ordered 4.88s from nitro gear and axle. I did some searching around on here but havent found much on them. What I want to know is the good the bad and the ugly. Any input would be much appreciated!

Call and see where they are made. The last I heard, all 'JK' gears (with the sole exception of US Gears d44 4.88's) are still being produced by the same company in Asia and just re-boxed for whoever is selling them. If that is the case with Nitro gears, then they should be no different than any others.
