      A couple of questions on these..

      My McLaren came with a white crown gear with only a number “2′ embossed . How do you determine the number of teeth on these gears short of having to count them?

      Also, are there different  offset gears for motor pods of different offset?

      Toyota Man,

      The grey Slot It motor pods are all the off set ones.  The light grey pods are 1mm offset and require a special white crown gear that do not have any gear markings on them.  The dark grey offset pods are .5mm offset and can be used with a regular colored crown gear. 

      The best thing to do with the white crown gears is to count them and write a number on them so you only have to do it once.
