Zeroid Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have been collecting a small army of the Tomy Karate Robots that came out around 1970. They always have the same issue. One Nylon gear on the motor shaft and one nylon gear inside the gear box have spilt giving the motor no traction so the robot just sit there. I know this is common with Nylon gears.Does anyone know where I can find replacement gears? I could use metal if I could find them or Nylon or plastic. I would almost rather use Nylon or plastic as it is original to the robot.Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't seem to find it right now. I'll keep looking, Zeroid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
