48dp Spur for Optima Mid

[peetbee]

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a 48dp spur gear from to fit my Optima Mid?
Also, would anyone have any idea what sort of gearing would work for a 19T motor in a mid?
Thanks

we put a small bearing or bush to take up the slack on the mids spur gear shaft,
hope this maybe off help

The old Optima Mid's pinion was identical to Tamiya's AV pinion now a days. Might want to try out various Tamiya spur gear for TT-01's?!

cheers, the spur needs to be dead flat though.

I have one on my Mid. It's a team tanaplan spur and collor from way back when. Its essentially a collor which allows you to run the standard slipper clutch et al.

I ran an 89 Spur with an 19 pinion with a Revtech 19 Single. If needed I can maybe take a picture of the collar and spur and maybe send you dimensions.

You can run Lazer spurs with the collar too!

Thanks a photo and dimensions would help, I can give RW a call to see what they can do to help then.
Thanks for the gearing tip too.

And any ideas where a Lazer spur can be obtained once I have a collar?!
Thanks
