does anyone use these motor pinions? i have just placed an order for a set of these and just want to know if these are reliable pinions.

thanks

I have the Rhino pinion on my 500. Works good for me. No problems yet. Seems quiter, too, but that may be just my imagination.

Love the Rhino pinions! Have them in all my helis... they last forever.. and reallly run quiet.. you will notice a difference immediately.

thanks

rhine=good=buy

500 stock motor=13T

rhino pinion all the way for me, the stock pinions look flimsy next to a rhino !!

i used a 13T on a stock motor/esc setup with flybar and 100% throttle, 6s 3000mah 30-40C lipo.

then i mounted a 1600Kv scorpion + 75A esc with flybar and 95% throttle same lipo as above.

now i went flybarless on the same setup and it seems that i need less throttle so i'm flying 85% throttle and i'm thinking of using a 12T pinion to go to 95 or 100% throttle(rhino pinion offcourse).

if i had a stock 500 pinion I would wear it out first if possible. nothing wrong with the stock 500 pinions. if i needed a gear change then ya pop a rhine in from helidirect there pretty cheap there

if I had a brass pinion like on my old 450's then its great upgrade.

Loved 'em on the 450... quieter indeed (than my worn stock pinion) last long time, no issues.
