Zip Zaps Transformers Broken Pinion Gear

[trgzt]

I broke the pinion gear on my car. I've been looking everywhere for a new one, but I can't seem to find one. Where can I get a new one, or preferrably more than one?

Here's a pic of the pinion gear. It's the really small one.

Is that a transformer truck?
is it bigger then a regualr zip zap car?

if so hit your radio shack again, and look for the zip zap truck clearance section, its 99 cents.

otherwise buy a 2nd one and return it after you take the part off

It's the bee car. I wouldn't feel right buying a new one just to take the gear then returning it.

You can always find broken or claimed to be broken stuff at Radio Shacks. Just make friends with the manager.
He will put it in the computer as scraps and sell it very cheaply, they usually just throw the stuff out.

Thanks hschnark. I looked at one radioshack but they didn't have many accessories left and they were all at least $20. None of the pieces looked like the pinion gear, and I was hesitant to order something on ebay because I wasn't sure if the gear packs included the right pinion gear. I'll look at more radioshacks, and if I can't find it there I'll get it off ebay prob.

hschnark, ur awesome! That's exactly what I needed. I'm gonna try to get a car set. I was hoping that would work out since I wanted to get a 'real' zipzaps car anyways. I'll be busy on ebay / calling rs stores for a bit.
