Steering knuckles and "C" hubs are the most commonly broken pieces.

The front hubs are OOS everywhere

Will a 73/40 64p spur/pinion fit?

just bought a used TA06 pro, it installed a 21.5T 72/40, 48p I believe, it runs fine, so I guess 73/40 will work.

I can confirm that a 76/47 64p does not fit. For gearing a 21.5T motor properly 48p gears must be used. The rear gearbox severely limits how much you can move the motor to achieve proper gear mesh.

It looks like I can use a 88t spur and 47-52t pinions.

Yeah I think I misspoke when I said "gear properly" as FDR is motor and track dependent. FDR's in the low 4s and high 3s should be okay with 64p. FDR's in the mid 3s I think are trickier.
