15T pinion for Trex 700N ?

[Dawiev]

Hi, does such a pinion exist ?

14T is available, but I need to go one bigger still.

I do not believe any 3rd party companies currently make one. You would have to machine one yourself unfortunately.

part for a gaz conversion they also sell 16t http://www.centuryheli.com/products/...B7A&pageid=787

[Dawiev]

Brilliant, thank you!

News to me, great find for the original poster!

Does alloy mean aluminum ? Won't last very long !

Hi, in addition to the material used, the ones from CH do not have the fine thread to fit into a stock Align bell. It obviously requires a specific bell from CH also.

I would imagine the gear mesh would be tight without slotting the frames or getting a smaller main gear to compensate for the bigger pinion size...

[Dawiev]

Have to slot the frames and space the engine + shroud forward. No biggie.

Sounds like a lot of head speed and way more torque than the engine will be able to handle

I'm new to nitro but what are you trying to accomplish

[Dawiev]

I am using a Helix GT600 frame with a gas engine. It uses the 700n gears and clutch, hence why I asked here.

Hey Daview,

Were you able to find a 15T nitro pinion?

[Dawiev]

Hi, in the end, I managed to get one...... by accident !!

Helibug (the now-defunct Helibug) . Too late he realized what I wanted it for (after shipping it) and refused to sell me anything else, as I was not using a HB kit of any kind. I still paid a price akin to something made of rare-earth metals, but needs must......

I honestly do not know where to find one again.

[Azalin]

Interesting. I didn't know Helibug made a 15T pinion. I'll contact Ali, he may have one around for me.

Thanks Daview.
