Question for Older Tamiya RC's

[Boomer420]

I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere to get Pinion Gear sets , Model #'s TAM 53063 12/13T, and TAM 53064 14/15T.. I am in desperate need of these!!! I am restoring a Tamiya Boomerang , and the manual states these are the pinion gears I can use. Any help would be great thanx.. E-hobbies "had" them, but not anymore. Hobby stores around town are no help..

Once again. thanx for any info.

The Boomerang uses standard 32 pitch pinions. You could use any aftermarket pinion such as Robinson Racings or others. Steel pinions would be better than the stock Tamiya aluminum ones anyway.

Once again, the best place to find what your looking for would be ebay;)

LOL, I tried Ebay. Negative on that...

On the Robinson Racing gears. Is there a certain one that I need? Or, is it just any 32pitch..?

Thanx for the responses and the help..

Any 32 pitch pinion will work.

Tamiya has always used metric pitch gears. While the standard 32 pitch and the metric equivalent are very close they are not the same. RRP does make metric gears for the Tamiya cars.

Picked up some gears from Team Losi yesterday .. Thanks to everyone and their help. Certainly appreciate it.. Now, onto getting this tank running.

Thanks again.
