I have some gears. I don't see any currently listed on the WIZZARD site. PM me Thanks, Al, the 20 T crowns have gotten hard to come by, but what I was referring to was the 20T for the top of the cluster gear which, as far as I know were never commercially available. I have a few in limited supply. Back when we were building these I found a company that made pinion rod. It is basically a brass rod that has gear teeth cut into it. I gave them the pitch and the tooth count and they cut me what I needed. I have to cut them off like cookies and center drill the hole. I looked EVERYWHERE and could not find a 20t gear anywhere. It is intregal to my metal gear setup.  |

I visited Tom Stumpf once and he had similar which someone had used as a set or something. one end was mushroomed terribly from pounding by a hammer.
he says it was from the original Aurora Factory.

Jeff, The miniature engineering skills that you guys have are just unreal. You must have a terrific workshop  . The other thing is how do you keep your work area so clean? I tidy mine up and after about two hours working it looks like it has been hit by a hurricane  . That is one very impressive chassis that you are building there. |

That 12" of pinion rod cost me about $30+ but I was glad to pay it. By the way.....the silicon bronze gears are still on the Wizzard site. I just ordered two. Type gears in the Search window and they are on Pg 2. Here's the link straight to them. wizzardho.com/search.php?search_query=gears&page=2§ion=product |

Yes Bear Creek has gone through several transformations over the years. Anyone that has a track knows that they are always changing. I post pretty much everything I do here. |

Nice work Jeff, a lot of innovative ideas. This is pretty much how the hot rod crowd has always done things. If it is
not available you make your own. Many factory addons came from hot rod engineering.

If you guys are in the market for 15T Bronze crown gears, reach out to Eric Hirt at mobydidit@aol.com, he is going to make some more after speaking with him, they are $15 ea. if you are interested. After much searching, I found him from an article on building those super fast Tjets that run in the 3's in 20.750'.

Swiftkart, Thanks for that info on Eric. I have to ask where is that article you mentioned in your post? I've never had any success building a fast t-jet... could all the help I can get!
