you could hit up a local hobby shop that sells century heli stuff, as they use mod 1 pinions as well and I believe they aren't as hard as the RCM one

Consider the century pinions non-hardened. I have ripped the teeth off a few and worn others badly. You can heat them red with a torch and then dunk them in some 10w30 oil. Do it twice and they will work great on a steel spur. I have modified a few tranny gears to be used as pinions and always harden them that way.
