Well if you not looking for head speed the stock motor is not a bad thing!
With 4400 packs you will get GOBS of fly time :)
BUT 550's are big and you dont say how many cells your using... Maybe the Century 550 or a motor like it might be a good way to go?

6 cells and the CG was not bad . Not tail heavy this way.
I have no Idea how they would be in your hands!
My father in law was a crane pilot at Erickson.
He past way 10 yrs ago , but he would have flipped If he saw what you guys are doing with a heli.

Woohoo! I'm just waiting for them to get their parts stock in and I'll order everything at the same time.

Paul from Gaui said that they are shooting new materials for the gears since last week. I'll let you know if these survive torture.

If thier still molded I have my doubts but we will see I guess! Glad Gauyi is working on it.

I see ReadyHeli have them listed, although not in stock yet. Which gears are actually required as there are 61 & 68T 0.6 gears listed, I know stock is 61T? Is the second main gear available as well?

The p/n PC-5068 is the 68T 1st reduction gear (the one that contacts the pinion). It is in a diffrent pitch (.6M as opposed to the Gaui .8M gear) in order to give you more pinions possibilities. This gear lets you use commonly available .6M pinions for the Hirobo Lepton (18 to 26 teeth)
The p/n PC-5061 is the 61T main gear. This gear fits on the main shaft.
Note: I Recommend using M3x6mm screws to mount RevCo gears to both gear hubs. The Stock self tapping screws do not have enough bite into the material and even with the stock gears they have a nasty habit of backing out.

I have a stock Hurricane, but would like to replace the gears even though I don't have a higher power system yet.
Your site lists the 61T and 68T - Are these direct replacement or do I need a new pinion that will mesh properly?
Thanks.

You can replace all three (1st gear, main gear, hardened steel pinion) or just the main gear.
No problems there.

thats because they came in this morning...
they are listed at:
rh, upgrades, gaui.
Is there a chance they'll run out before the rest of the Hurricane parts are listed? I'd rather do just one big order but don't want to miss out on these.

Gears ordered :D
I was a little confused yesterday as both gears were shown as 0.6 module but it's now been altered to show the 61T gear is 0.8 module, I spent a bit of time looking at the pictures & comparing but soon figured out you need the 68T primary gear and the 61T main gear plus a pinion of your choice, why not also sell them as a complete package so a first timer has an easy choice?

Hi John,
Philip here from Malaysia - I've waited eagerly and am dying now to buy your new Revco gears for my Hurricane 550 (its been grounded since i had a major crash due to stripped gear) - but when i tried to order, Malaysia is not listed in your list of countries - please, please,please don't tell me that you don't ship to Malaysia!!! Do you ship to Malaysia??? If you don't ship to Malaysia (why NOT????) could you please show me where else can I get these Revco gears from?
Awaiting eagerly for your reply.
Thanks very much & God bless!
sincerely,
Philip Lee

John or Adrian (or anyone else for that matter),
What pinion(s) should I order with the Revco 68t and 61t gears for use with a stock motor?
Thanks,
