I’ve recently converted the spur and pinion to 32dp/mod0.8. (the files are on thingiverse) Currently my spur is made of polycarbonate, and pinion is metal. (Robinson Racing RRP-1714 or RRP-1716) There are lots of rc cars using 32dp, so finding the right pinion shouldn’t be a problem anymore.
I wonder how expensive that will get. In polycarbonate my spur lasts at least for 15 packs of quite rough driving. You could buy a spur for a different car and modify it to fit.
pice is the point. i uploaded the Spur_Diff_57_mod08_GearV3.STL to my shapeway account. it would cost about 50€ in stainless steel.
(the “older” model Spur_Gear.STL about 40€, volume is a little smaller)
i only got ABS atm. probably would need to print a new spur gear after ever run
dont know if my Replicator can handle polycarbonate as well, yet
yesterday i printed it in ABS+soluble support, looks quite sturdy.
ill see when my motor and esc arrives, then ill decide if i invest the money
get it printed in steel …
