Normal gears are cut at an angle so they don't whine. If you want a stronger gearset you can get them straight cut. I'm looking for a pic to show the difference.

Oh man, not only is that thing brutally fast, but the sound of those gears, sequential no less.

At least the pic in the bottom you can see a straight cut next to a helical cut.
