Default 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

It might be a drawback. The bore is 2,5mm but it should have been 2,3mm. I didn't like them at all, to wobly.

Here's where I get the HeliMax gears (which incidentally...work great).
