Kyosho Lazer ZX5 Pinion Gears

[jackeltrader]

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know of anywhere this side of the Atlantic I can get hold of a selection of various tooth pinion gears? I want to try different ones at my local meet to see how they alter the performance but I am the ONLY Kyosho runner and can't seem to find them on all the usual places on the web. Or is it possible to use another manufacturers gears? My local model shop is shocking so it's web only I'm afraid....fed up of waiting three weeks to get them from the USA - any help would be great - I'm probably being a wing nut but hey ho
Thanks!!

Is your car 48dp? If so, any decent model shop will sort you out.

As far as mail order goes, I've had great service from places like DMS Racing, JE Spares, MK Racing, etc...

I'm sure if you give any of these a call, they'll get you hooked up.

not sure what 48dp refers too? I have the lazer readyset. I am currently running 48 tooth spur and 24 tooth pinion which is what it shipped with. Can I use any pinion on it then - I was lead to believe I should only use kyosho ones??

yes mate im almost 100% sure its 48dp and yes you can use almost ANY 48dp pinion gear

just be careful between long and short boss

It will be a 78 tooth 48dp spur if it is the original
