    Best LOCAL bet is RC Addiction in Central Point - http://rcaddiction.com/. Never gone there that they didn't have what I needed. Always happy with their selection. As for online, try http://www.amainhobbies.com/. Great selection and excellent prices. Good luck!

    Local options, I'd go to R/C Addiction. They generally have a large selection of stuff, but it's pretty dated. Lately I haven't had luck with them stocking parts for newer cars. (They have a 22T on the shelf, but have no parts for it  :eek: ) But, my last transaction there left me a little speechless. $13 for a single MC59 glow plug. A Main Hobbies sells the same plug for $5.99 and has a comparable plug on sale for $2.99.

    I order almost all of my parts exclusively from A Main Hobbies, though. Great selection, great prices and they're in Chico so even "regular" USPS shipping usually shows up in 3 days. www.amainhobbies.com

    Generally speaking, people only run 48-pitch gears on 1/10-scale vehicles. I wouldn't expect that you would find a 32p gear that fits that vehicle. 32p is generally reserved for nitro cars.

    If you're chewing up gears frequently I would start looking at gear mesh. It sounds like your mesh is too loose. Next time you set your mesh put a small strip of paper in between your pinion and spur gear. Smash the gears together with the paper inbetween. Then tighten your motor screws up and you should have a nice mesh set. It also helps to thread-lock your motor screws. A good crash can loosen your mesh and strip a gear. That happened to me the first time I ran my 22T.

    Stick with the stock spur gear, check your mesh frequently and you should be fine.
