Default Cobri gearboxs....where to buy online?

I am getting back into electrics and I am in need of 2 Cobri Gearboxs for a twin project I am working on.

Thanks

I have searched all over the web and it appears the web site where I purchased some in the past has gone. If someone could help me with a web site I sure would appreciate it.

Carl

Thanks for the help Glacier Girl. I checked those sites but all I could find was the flush mount for the box itself....Im going to keep searching.

I looked a little deeper too, seems Jeff had his design "borrowed" by a Korean company back in 2004 and there were counterfeit versions popping up.
He hasn't been around since 2011 and his site is dead.

Is this for a sentimental reason, as the GWS version and others are similar, and for that matter why a gearbox set up when an outrunner is more efficient?

At first it was sentiment as all my stuff was lost in a fire .I agree with you about the outrunners making gear drives a think of the past

Thanks for all you're help in this quest .

That looks like a very good gear box and at more than 1/2 the cost.

Thanks Jared

Nipon Dave, owner of Aircraft World, has always provided 110% service in the past. When I would order small items, I would usually receive them in about 5 business days, and from Japan to boot.

Oh, don't forget pinions
