Kraton v4 input gear? I shredded the front input gear (10t), and while trying to order there are a number of different part numbers reflecting different number of teeth? And of course the 10 tooth input gear (for the v4 Kraton), part # AR310498 is back ordered. Help!!

This (10T spiral input gear) supposed to work with the Kraton V4 spiral ring gear (AR310497). (not EXB, obviously)

Different part number. Maybe a revised input gear. Not sure why the different part number. But this may explain why the AR310498 part is B/O'ed. It's now replaced by ARA311054.
If you haven't used the ArrmaRc.com for parts reference, do so. Don't just rely on your V4 manual only when replacing parts. Arrma updates/revises some parts here and there. You will be searching for "Ghost" parts that appear to be on B/O. When they actually have been revised with new Part #'s. Just a tip if you haven't done' so.

Usually, if you chooch a pinion, the ring gear is also damaged. It takes very little damage on the ring gear for the pinion to skip teeth under load. So you may be better off getting a complete front or rear diff from an outcast/talion/kraton from one of the truck breakers like jenny's or ebay. Then you also get new bearings and a spare bulkhead.
