Default Bully pinions

So I have the bully V1... I have the chassis assembled and all, went to find a pinion. No dice.

What pinion can I run in there?

What pitch is the main gear, what depth of a pinion do I need?

Are they supposed to come with the ARTR kit?

They should come with the kit. Mine were in one of the bags of spare screws that came with it.

Sorry! I just found it myself .

The pinion gears for the Bully are found under Bully parts, not under Pinion & Other gears.

It will be nice to have the option to run different tooth pinion gears front and rear .

Not really. I have used regular Robinson gears in mine. The ones from RC4WD are long enough to cover the full face of the 6mm wide internal gears.

So most metal gears gears will work.

Yes, they do. I believe Ripper is referring to the practice of using different toothed pinions front or rear to combat ClodStall...

Can you post a link to the alternative pinion gears you are using?

Thanks a lot!

Are you running different tooth pinion gears? If so, what tooth are you using? Should I go with a 13t or 14t up front with the stock 12t in the back?

I like having options to adjust for wheel speed and torque depending on terrain and motors.

I have some Robinson Racing 48p pinions but they don't seem to be the same as the (don't mesh well with) bully pinions. Is there some other type of 48p? I could really use a 9T and 10T. Any help would be great.
