ok so im using a 8t pinion on my park 370. i was wondering if i went to a 9t pinion would the slightly higher head speed be worth it. for stability

Most people tell me that if I am going to change from the 8t pinion I should just skip the 9t and go right to the 10t.

I would also go with the 10, unless you have heat problems then try a 9.

If you have a programmable tx 10T is fine. It gives you insane power. But if you are using a stock tx, your throttle and pitch mix changes. YOu will find yourself hovering below midstick. This makes transition to idle up very wild. From a hover, heli will go down rapidly because of negative pitch.

Ahhh, good thinking Gino. I never even thought about that. Glad I never switched to 10t while using the stock radio.

ya me to, i kinda tend to lift off quickly just cuz i love seeing the dirt blow every where then see the heli take off. if i had changed to the 10t, lol id still be looking at the ground under the skids when the heli si 20 feet up
