HPI 5 Series gear pitch

I'm looking at using this (5T slipper clutch) (http://www.hpieurope.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=85474) in a custom build.

Does anyone know the pitch that HPI runs on these gears?

Thanks!

They probably wouldn't be too big, My spur gears are 50T 20dp 3/8" thick, thats a .5 lb steel gear before pocketing. For the bevels, the 36T 12DP gears are absolutely massive.

RE: What type of alum is used in chassie of savage, maxx etc

Yes, you can get 6061 to bend, but you won't get clean tight radius bends out of it that people associate with sheet metal work. Larger radius bends work though.
