Where do you guys recommend going to buy cheap plastic gears?
And I need some flat gears, sort of like a timing belt cut and laid out straight...what is this called? I've been reading up on gears trying to learn about them, and they said these are called 'rack gears', but when I type this into google or ebay nothing useful comes up... Is there another name for them? Or am I better off just cutting a timing belt in half and gluing it to a piece of wood :\
I'm looking to buy relatively small gears, maybe an inch or two, size isn't much of a concern, I need a bunch of them, so I don't think I could find enough in old VCR's around my house.
