this is a good example of the state of our local hobby shops. when I needed these pinions last week I called Hobbycraft, Skycraft, Hobbytown, and Fields. No one offered any suggestions or help as to what other brands might fit, they all basically said "sorry we do not carry Kyosho, thank you for calling bye". meanwhile on Tuesday in California someone sent me a PM on rctech and said for $10 he would ship them to me. Naturally I paid right away and Thusday of the same week just two days later I had the parts I needed. Is eBay our local hobby shop now? I mean you can buy new and used there with everythin in stock with all major brands!
