even if you find one, you won't be able to gear it for a few months.

crawlerdan · June 04, 2005, 10:48:50 PM

why

awhotrods · June 05, 2005, 02:30:36 AM

every supplier has been backordered on all V6 and HP gear sets for months now, and there is no ETA on the HP gears.

crawlerdan · June 05, 2005, 03:31:36 PM

crap

Northern Runner · June 06, 2005, 01:02:37 PM

I have a high pinion front and have been waiting for 5.29 gears for about 2.5 months now. I hear that they may be available in Aug.

Hopefully..

Bob Garrett · June 08, 2005, 02:24:40 PM

I got my v6 electric third from marlin in Feb. Glad he had some then. I knew the HP were out on backorder but now the v6's wow that sucks.

INCHWORM = $That\'s Gay$

tanman2003 · June 10, 2005, 10:51:06 PM

i dont know what the hell you mean by that but if they got the parts you want, it would be worth checking them out.

crawlerdan · June 11, 2005, 01:22:48 PM

i know the guys at inchworm, i wont do buisness with them, enough said

Northern Runner · June 13, 2005, 08:42:58 AM

I called inchworm, they said that they do have some hypinion 5.29's in stock but they will not sell them alone. But they are more than happy to assemble a complete hypinion third with them.
I would have to agree with crawlerdan on this one.

$That\'s Gay$

crawlerdan · June 13, 2005, 09:09:37 AM

that sounds like the same ol............

IronClad · June 13, 2005, 11:19:52 AM

seems like simple buisness to me.. the gears are in high demand if you were inchworm which would you rather do ? sell the gears alone or make more money by selling a complete setup ? makes sense to me. no need to bash inchworm because they wouldnt sell you a gearset because they wanted to make more money on a high demand item

I got my hp 4.88's from reider racing/precission gear about a month ago
They don't offer hp 5.29's
Ordered my v6 4.88's from randy's ring and pinion today

crawlerdan · June 13, 2005, 01:40:02 PM

other companies like Randy's, are in business to make money, as well as everybody else, but they also strive to make relationships with customers, thats the difference between inchworm and some of the other company's out there, they are trying to capitalise on the situation while sacrificing the ties to customers that i think is often far more important. no bashing here, i just really think that the way they do things is wrong, or $That\'s Gay$ if you will, I'm not one to bash other wheelers, but Ive always believed in helping out a fellow wheeler, thats all

Toyoballs · June 13, 2005, 04:04:50 PM

Sounds like they lost a gear set sale to me plus future purchases - why call them back if they won't help out?
So now they have to wait until someone wants the whole 3rd and by then gear sets will become available again

I've never called them before and if this is their way of business, then I doubt I ever will - besides why? just call Marlin.

Is China taking all our resources on 5.29's too

crawlerdan · June 13, 2005, 05:55:38 PM

actually, no. my stepbrother has been in japan for a few months and says the same thing as here, all on backorder

awhotrods · June 16, 2005, 09:36:56 AM

who makes those damn gears?! We need to crack the whip!

BUBBA · June 16, 2005, 09:42:56 AM

Has any one ever found out why everyone is outta stock.

crawlerdan · June 16, 2005, 10:10:04 AM

there arent that many high pinions in the world and then all of a suddon all us wheelers wanted them with gears and lockers, to much demand

BUBBA · June 16, 2005, 10:34:40 AM

I understand that but what I was wandering was that I wouldn't think it would take that long to make them,so why the long wait

crawlerdan · June 16, 2005, 10:37:12 AM

materials?

BUBBA · June 16, 2005, 10:40:44 AM

ohhhh cause of china taken up all the steel

crawlerdan · June 16, 2005, 10:41:32 AM

ya

awhotrods · June 18, 2005, 01:15:43 PM

Good and bad news, I have a set of HP 5.29 gears coming!!! The bad news, they are O.E. made in Japan gears that cost $280!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All Pro has 15 sets of these gears! So if you really need a set like I did, you are going to pay a pretty penny for them.

crawlerdan · June 18, 2005, 01:22:36 PM

but i only have ugly pennys:headshake:
