kyosho outrage gear pitch

[longboardnj]

i got a deal on a kyosho outrage with a bad pinion gear..will any 32pitch gear work??i ask cause the kyosho pinions look different and i know tamiya 48 pitch is not like rc10 48 pitch..are any 32pitch gears like this or is all 32pitch gears the same?? id like to use a tamiya pinion but i dont want to mess up the spur gear if a pinion could be a bit off ..

Sandmaster, rampage, outrage... I keep mixing those names up, is it an electric or engine model?
32 pitch is right for the electric car, the engine car takes a heavier pitch still I think.

I think technically, kyosho 32 pitch is actually .8 metric module. But, the difference between .8 and 32 pitch is so slight, they are interchangeable.

its electric... like the one in the pic posted.. but mine is black and not as nice

so im not crazy..i meshed a 32 pitch gear with the kyosho pinion (its only missing 1 tooth)and it did seem a bit different..back in the day i didnt care but now i like all stuff 100%correct on a car like this were you cant get spur gears. anything besides "kyosho"pinions exactally the same??

ah thanks,
just lloked upo the sandmaster and that's the engine version using what looks to be the same body set.

lbnj,
I'm sure I have some 32 pitch kyosho gears, but they are mixed in a pack of other '32 pitch' pinions.
Are you sure it didn't mesh well? don' forget you need to give these quite much play compared to 48 pitch.

i meshed a kyosho pinion with a 32pitch pinion i have and it didnt seem perfect..but thought it was off cause both pinions were old and used. thats why i asked on here. i have more 32pitch gears at my parents house but i dont think any kyoshos

[Mr. ED]

mmmm, 2 pinions, with how many teeth each?
Gears with few teeth always mesh with more friction than larger diameter ones.

i have 2 15t pinions 1 gold kyosho 1 silver from another car?both gears are a bit worn.the kyosho seems to be a bit bigger plus when i mesh and roll them together it does not seem very smooth..but maybe im making something out of nothing the gears are not new
