Hi Guys
D is correct, but I have bad news mark...
The bronze pinions are rubbish, throw them in the bin
There are alot of 710 drivers that I know here or race with and we have all found the same thing the bronze pinion wears very quick. I ran one about 3 months ago and now they have release new silver pinions which are the best out of the 3. Ran it for 5 race meets so far and no wear.
I will post a pic soon if you have not seen them, they come in the new orange labelled bag.

Mind you, D's fomula for running 16-60 works fine. I must have done a bunch of tanks to the point the pinion is now worn sharp and still no stripping.
I wonder if this is what hapenned to one of the Serpent drivers in the Semis .. he lost first gear apparently. There ya go ... another Serpent driver who didn't listen to the prophet!

Really? I saw Mark Green's car which had these bronze colored ones and it seemed fine.

Case in point, some strip the 61T spur with the 16T pinion and some don't !

Good point but you wouldn't be able to get hold of one. Same thing goes with the Mega with the black crankcase.

Well, so far no problems with them. I know a few who run the stock clutch bell with no problems either...
