In the building manual its referd as : 87.7.10160 and is a pinion gear with 10 theth and outer diameter of aprox 12mm with a center hole of 4mm.

The inner hole will be 3.17 mm , that should help as its a standard pinion size and its a 10 tooth , the only thing i cant help with is the gear pitch , its probably 0.8 mod so try searching ebay for 10 tooth 0.8 mod pinion and there should be a ton of hits , hopefully someone can chime in if its not 0.8 mod .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

I messured the axle shaft to 3.97mm so 4 mm it is.

I have 2 old Scorpions and this is the part that have the most were and tear so i think i cant be the only one with this problem.

Makes me wonder if the entire gearbox from a re-re will swap in.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Original Scorpion gears were Mod 1.

Jonas, are you looking for the the top shaft gear inside the trans?

Edit: had to do a quick double check of the manual. The top shaft/final pinion gear is part number SC-83 and there's some on eBay(not my auction): https://www.ebay.com/itm/112085974525?hash=item1a18d83dfd:g:U8AAAMXQDnpTXFPe

Sorry if I confused the issue , commonly the gear on the motor is referred to as the pinion :oops:

Thank you!

I will go for the E-bay option. From what I can see it looks exactly the same :D

My instruction manual don't have the number you refered to thou, but mine is a Swedish translation so maybe diffrent countries have diffrent systems?

Thank you all for the support.
