I would like to replace the nylon spur gears in two of my gearboxes and cannot find a source! Anyone know where to get them? I found clock makers are crazy enough to make their own gears, but i won't go that way

The car people have some but build from scratch gearboxs
and nylon is gone but i do like then I get some gears Berg. CU

It has been a while since I asked that question. I wrote it when I was flying the Wattage planes 370 power setup Since then I have found two others. I used the MP Jet 5:1 gearbox and a speed 300. I also started buying, flying and becoming a fan of GWS airplanes. (edit) Forgot to add that I no longer have any broken gear problems. The MP Jet is sturdy as an ox (geared version) and the GWS just has the gear pop forward on a hard nose-in. No more broken gears (/edit)

I have found several sources for gears, but all of them are more expensive than hobby sources. Still searching.

Your original question was quite difficult to answer without specifying what gearbox you were talking about. Am I to understand that it was the Wattage 370 gearbox, such as on the Crazy Max? The only place I know of that might sell parts for those is Hobby People.

BTW, Wattage 370, Speed 300, and GWS 300 are all the same motor. I think that's why you like them so much

I was referring to spur gears in general, as in making my own gearboxes. The housing on the wattage box is not durable. When I went to the other types, I no longer had trouble with easily broken gears. With the price of the GWS systems, there is little motivation to make my own boxes.

I would still like a source of generic spur and pinion gears. I have a "Small parts" catalog, but the prices arent any better than Hobby People.

As for the motors, I specifically like the mabuchi 370 series because it is the best fit for an 8 cell 700 mAh AAA battery. The latest challenge is to find the best match for a 2 cell 1020 lipo battery. The GWS IPS and the GWS 100 series seems the most likely, but maybe the M100 is better....any opinions out there?

Also bought 20 2 cell batteries, 1500 mAh Li-ion. At 2.9 oz per set, the possibilities will much more limited.... I think. With the 3-4 amp limit, and the 2.9 oz...heh, not a good mix. Looking into the 2p2s or 3s2p with bigger motors. (The phone packs from etonic which has been posted. Great deals, honest transactions.
