for the larger pinions you can look a Xenon gears you can get at www.speedtechrc.com.

I have been running them with good luck so far!

Well my PRS pinions are on the way.
Hopefully, I can get the motor issue squared away by this weekend. No response to my e mail to Robinson Racing yet. Wonder what they will have to say for themselves.

Well Tekin came thru with their amazing customer service. Should get the parts I need for the motors by the weekend! Thanks Tekin!!!!
Still no word from Robinson Racing. Glad to see RR cares when a customer is disappointed in their product.

Yea, I saw them. I'm sure they are top notch quality, but like you said, support for them here in the US is scarce. Horizon used to carry the line a few years ago but dropped them. At one point, they actually did make titanium pinion gears. Lighter than air!

The PRS pinions showed up this week. They look great. Can't wait to put them on the track.

Now I gotta get two new Tekin Redline motors, thanks to Robinson Racing's lousy pinions. And these were the hard nickel pinions too.
I think the Tekin Redline motor shafts are soft. I had my Tekin motor shaft distort, creating problems removing pinions. I now use other motors no problem.

Schumacher USA carries TI Racing products, not sure if they have these pinions, but they do sell the TI stuff.

I'm now running the PRS pinions. So far I like them very much. The mesh sets more consistently then the Robinsons ever did.

For the losi pinions do you need a 1/16 or 1.5mm hex driver. I know Traxxas is 1.5mm but Robinson Racing is 1/16
