Cheers,

Thanks a bunch for your help, but I may not be being clear (I have a bad habit of doing so).

The ones you linked to in the post up there ^ were to 12 tooth pinion gears, the ones normally used to go on CIM motors into CIMple boxes. I want to use the 14 tooth pinion gear normally used on the toughbox to go on the CIM motor and into the CIMple Box, and I have no idea if that will work or not.

I think you may have a fundamental misunderstanding of how gears work.

If you have a gear set with two gears that have a given number of teeth each and you wish to replace one of them, you must come up with two new gears where the sum of the tooth counts of the two new gears are equal to the sum of the tooth counts of the first two gears. Otherwise you will end up with the wrong center to center distance and they will not mesh.

Congrats, RC!

604 will be using a lot of WCP parts this year. ;-)

I know that the gears wont ship till week two, do we have to wait to that time to order them or will they available for order earlier than that?

Oh. That makes sense. Thanks for telling me! Good luck this year! We can't wait for SVR!
