Re: Gears for CIMs

Most large gear comapnies will carry metric gears with an 8mm bore to fit the output shaft of the CIM. However don't be limited to just metric gears, as a standard gear with a bore a bit smaller will also do the job. I used a 12tooth gear from Small Parts (a Martin Gear) that had a bore of .313 which is just under the ~.315 inch conversion of 8mm.

For any gears, metric included, try www.sdp-si.com, www.pic-design.com, www.wmberg.com, www.bostongear.com, www.nordex.com, as good old www.smallparts.com.
