I'm pretty sure Tower carries them.

Edit: they do.

Are the Berg gears Metric? I thought I read somewhere they were standard?

BoNuS LiNe · 06-30-2008, 10:59 AM

i have been told they are metric .

swell searcher · 06-30-2008, 11:14 AM

is there anyway to visual tell the difference?

ncgoose · 06-30-2008, 11:23 AM

The Berg gears are metric and you can get them at a main. I believe the other places that carry them will have them in the near future as well.

Good to know, I need to get some ordered.

They are metric, I used Tamiya as we have a pretty big Tamiya inventory, they call it 06 module.

I am running 14T on 55T motors and have comp wheelspeed to 35T 14/87 Axial tranny

Anywhere in the rest of this planet...

Cordially.

People from the metric land.

What are the majority of you people using for tooth count?

RXcrawler · 07-01-2008, 09:06 AM

Stock pinion I think it's a 14 tooth.

BoNuS LiNe · 07-01-2008, 10:32 AM

my stock pinions are 12 tooth

Mnster · 07-03-2008, 03:14 AM

Ordered 12's and a 13 tooth. I figured I'd try the different ratios in each axle I really like it's effect in my super.

What kind of effect does it have?

Mnster · 07-03-2008, 01:21 PM

Front pulls a little sooner then the rear. Really keeps the truck straight on climbs. Sort of like a FWD in snow. The rear at a higher ratio allows it to stall less then the front.

12 rear 13 front

Nice, that was always a no-no in the 1:1 world or shaft driven world but I guess since its independent it doesnt matter. I might try that I'll have to get an 11t rear.

I can confirm that they are not 48p "SAE" gears nor 0.5 Mod. There isn't proper mesh by my visual check. 0.6 Mod seems to be the best fit, and I have an assortment of 12-17t pinions on the way. I am also hitting up a pinion cutter to see if we can get 11 or 10t pinions made.

Robinson Racing .....makes metric pinions....give them a try

I'm in for a set if you end up getting them made
