8 tooth pinions for Tamiya gearboxes?
I contacted Bob at ETO Armor, and he can no longer get 8T pinions from his suppliers.
Frustrating, because I think they work great, and Bob provides super service.
Does anybody know where I might be able to buy a pair?
Thanks,
Andy

Mitosal/Impact sells them for $10 plus shipping. I have ordered metal treads and other parts from them. it has taken anywhere from 1-2 weeks for my stuff to arrive in Tennessee. You are in Colorado so it may get to you quicker since it would be coming from Asia.

Try a Heli-Max 8 tooth pinion. They work just fine. Heli-Max model # is HMXE8007
Available at most local hobby shops (that sell helicopter parts) and cost about 4 or 5 bucks each.

Did not find any at ebay either, so I got some from Mitosal just now, they will send them tomorrow. 10$ + 2,75 p+s to Norway
