Does anyone know what the pitch or module the Microheli upgrade main gear is ? I tried them and no answer yet.

I'd assume it's a .5 module like the stock set-up, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Ok, I found out it is a 0.5 mod. Now I need to find what size shaft the ARK X-400 version of the Microheli main gear fits. No more :

WEEEBEEEEBEEEBEEEEBEEEBBEEEBEEE !

AFAIK the trex main shaft is the same size as the MX400

I hope that would be 5mm, but I think the clutch-bearing they use in the Microheli hub has a 6mm ID. That would mean using the AR sleeve for the Shogun, which has a 5mm shaft. That sort of bothers me about slop and rotational flexing or warping as the AR bearing rolls around the sleeve. Maybe that would keep me in the same boat.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM this makes me wonder. I Bought the Two Gears from www.rchover.com they are the Blue ones on the homepage Part Number HS 1218-84. I was told these would work without any Modifications....Sure hope so :(

Ok, I got it worked out. The main shafts are 5mm and the Autorotation Sleeve firmly attaches to the AR sleeve (on mine). The AR sleeve is 5mm inside diameter and 6mm OD. The AR bearing rotates on or grabs the AR sleeve depending on demand. I have not had it apart and Walkera does not include a parts breakdown. The others I saw did not show the AR system well. So, I spent two days researching this and found very little :arggg: .
AOK now.
