tlt pinion gear, where to find?

[rdearolf]

I am the second owner of a set of tlt axles, the first person drilled holes in the axle pinion gears, were can i find some replacements?

Likely the one-stop shop for all things TLT axles is gonna be www.rcpcrawlers.com In particular, you can get any of the axle parts separately! To make it easier, here is the link for the pinions themselves:

TLT Pinions

And if you are looking for an excuse to upgrade, you can get the solid spool and pinion from the same guys:

TLT spool/ pinion (beware, this looks as though it's been drilled already)

Hope this helped!

Nothing wrong with putting holes in the pinions. I've been runnin mine like that for 4 years and never had one break on me, even in my comp rig. I always had the gears break or just wear out. I just trust the pin going through more than I trust some grub screws to hole the driveshaft on.

WHat do you use for pins? I just got a set of the rcpcrawlers spool/pinion gear with the hole, and not sure what to use for a pin.

Thanks!!

Do you use those yokes too? I have the Traxxas metal yokes on my driveshafts, will those pins work for the metal yokes?

Thanks!

I just use the pins. I also use the metal yolks, and the pins fit just fine. Haven't been able to find just the pins to purchase separately.

Ok, good deal. It looks like the two set screws will hold it in place also, but I like the idea of using those pins better.

Thanks for your help!
