Have you tired ordering from PRS?

Last time I bought pinions I bought from Freddies Hobbies, but for some reason their site is down.

Try RC4LESS.COM. Looks like they have some of the 50+ tooth pinions in stock.

Unfortunately, if I order from ALL the above named sources I'm up to almost half a set and have single-handedly kept the PO in business on the shipping

My understanding from previous discussions (I think on here) with folks who've tried is that PRS are not interested in selling directly to consumer.

HEY...technical question re: the PRS spur gears. Do the 76T spurs accept 12 or 8 balls?

I will have 78 spurs with 12 ball holes back in stock in about 3-4 days. i will also be getting 40 + pinions that are nickel teflon coated.

Yup I have tried...their cart wanted to charge me $20 shipping for $30 worth of gears and they would not respond to my e-mail attempts to contact them and ask about alternate shipping methods.

I've ordered gears from their site with no problems in the past. I guess it's been 12 months probably. I've never had to pay unreasonable shipping. That sucks though.

You don't live in Hawaii either Depending on what the default shipping method is with in the contenental 48 pricing for UPS or FedEx shipping is pretty reasonable, but ship it to Hawaii or Alaska and the price skyrockets. Whereas USPS Priority Mail tends to be about the same price reguardless. I could understand having the cart setup for UPS then shipping USPS on request for cases such as mine. But even if the company won't do it a reply to the e-mail explaining that would be appropriate. I didn't even get that...no reply at all.
