Default Yokomo YR-4

Does anyone know where I can get hold of spur gears for my YR-4 Touring Car? I have a 81T at the moment but running in the Stock class means that I physically cannot fit a big enough pinion to gear correctly for the new breed on 13.5T motors.

Any help would be much appreciated as this car still perform really well - just need some top end grunt!!

get ya wallet out and buy a proper car or get ya RB5 back on the track

you need a shambles way of thinking with ya spur gear.

or drill and tap the hex on the shaft and use a kimborough spur gear ? (very ocd but should work)

Missed those Timbo!!!

I need something small, say 68, 70, 72ish. Need to be able use a large pinion gear. I can only get a 28T pinion in with the 81T spur that I have. My 13.5Turn losi is way under-geared with this.

i wouldnt have thought you'd need to drop the spur that low maybe 75 or 78, your not that far off the pace are you
