Need a little help, I need the primary drive gear for a sand rover. The one that connects to the motor pinion. I know these are rare now but I am willing to pay or swap, I have lots of rare MB or KBF parts.

Hey, if you know of any please let me know. :dry: Seriously. I have not built one of these cars since I was 12 years old :ohmy:

The only other car that uses the same gears as the vintage Sand Rover is the vintage Holiday Buggy :whistle:

I did have a go at making my own gears but it didn't work :(

Seeing Tamiya Madrid's Ministry Blue ;) Sand Rover / Sand Scorcher project yesterday prompted me to take another look ... so far I've drawn up some back-of-a-badword-packet plans for a "simple" belt drive conversion, machined a motor pulley, and ordered some more materials - so nothing to show you yet.

That would be so cool :), but not original :(

I reckon it would almost be worth commissioning a private batch of replacement gears to be made, they are like hens teeth. Wonder who would do this and how much?
