Help With Pinion Gear

[grob1234]

I purchased a lesu 1:5 reduction gearbox for my 1/14 scale truck.

 

The problem is that the output shaft is 5mm, so the tamiya pinion won't fit. Its a 10t pinion gear.

 

Is there a replacement pinion gear that I could get but with a 5mm bore?

 

Many thanks!

Have a look on there. If they don't already do one to suit they can custom make you one.

Thank you for your reply, they look like good suppliers, I'll drop them an email.

I've drilled loads of pinion gears out to fit on a bigger shaft (God that sounds rude 🤣)

I've bought a lot of GDS gears from Planedeals on eBay. 

Some of which in the past I have used with adapters on like this one here which fits a 5mm shaft and using the included adapter also fits a 3.175mm shaft.

Obviously make sure the pitch is correct for whatever gear you buy.
