Pinion seems to be the correct one, despite the confusing description and lack of actual part number. Be careful with the grub screw though (if it's added), as I recall that is a diametrical one which makes it easy to strip/kill with a metric hex driver.

Also keep in mind the placement of the motor mount...

Hey nice chart. Thanks. It seems tgat im 1 tooth short than the recomended. Guess it won't be much of a problem unless it heats too much.
I have to keep runs under 6mins with this brushed setup anyway for this very reason.

1 teeth short is okay.
Pinion looks to be right but as Edou wrote confusing description. And grubscrew isn't metric, you will need a 1/16 inch hex driver. (Think the RR pinions come with one)

I have what I need. Anyway some blue locktite will keep it in place. BTW If I remember correctly in my youth's Manta the gears were all plastic. I took out the top cover of the rear box and two were metal.

The rerelease might have had the all plastic gears, but the old original ones had mixed alloy plastic gears.
Better to replace those.
