Default RE: Official Radio Shack Golden Arrow Thread

I love these old radio shack buggies. I've been trying to restore a Red Arrow, but am hung up on one thing. The stock pinion is 10t. I've bought several new 10t pinions, and they are all just a hair too big and the spur fits too tight and the motor will not turn. I'm not a spur and pinion guy, so i was hoping ya'll would have some ideas. I cannot really go with anything physicall larger than the 10t, because the casing is small and is not physically big enough. I have the original pinion, but it appears that radio shack had it permanently mounted. Is there any way of getting the old pinion off? I saw one person fixed up a GA, did you have the same issues, and how did you resolve it? I'm really looking to fix this up, as it is my original car from 20+ years ago...

thanks,

jason
