Super clodbuster pinion

[JonoC]

Hi all, new here, just building my Clodbuster , question is should I use supplied pinion gear which is alloy. Or try and find a steel one? The alloy one seems it will be best balanced to plastic cogs, but maybe the steel one would overpower  the plastic cogs? Thanks.

I think you'd be best with a steel pinion. I believe you'll need a 13T 0.8mod or 32dp pitch one (the pitches are almost identical, 32dp is much easier to find e.g. RW Racing steel pinions).

Thanks is there a U.K. supplier ?

Try UK monsters?, not sure if they do pinion gears but plenty there to keep your wallet busy.

Some say,,.,...............that the Clodbuster doesn't need upgrades "the original power and suspension gives it character and charm", 

All we know is,.........those people are wrong and it's called the Clodbuster.

If you're going full custom,

Those plastic cogs maybe the only thing left of the original model. 😂 😆

Maybe the wheels, tyres and body as well.
