At least in germany: the price for the complete upgrade kit (shafts and pinions) is 18,8€, the 2 pinions are 10,8€. So, the price difference is small. And I am not shore, if a simple "exchange" of the 2 tooth wheels for pinions will "simply" work:
The former "upper shaft" fixed the plastic tooth wheel by using a little needle pin. The lower shaft came with a rectangular surface on a distinctive spot to fix the metal tooth wheel. I think (but i never checked it out) it is not possible, to simply swap the tooth wheels for pinions. The new shafts are coming with a flat-ed surface, like the shafts of the motors to allow the screw to get strong contact. Additionally there is a locknut to fix the pinions . For me: this solution is worth the few bucks you spend. Or better: it is cheaper than to fail during a race. But: when you are able to fix the 2 new pinions an this surfaces: go for it.
12,5° yoke. Seems, that you are racing on high traction tracks.
