Gaui X5 tail ratio + headspeed

[prokyon]

What is the tail ratio on the Gaui X5 Premium Edition? I cannot find this information anywhere. Also, what's the lowest headspeed that you've run on your X5?

61T and 15T tail drive gears stock..

2100 seems to be as low as it gets with some decent performance.

Thanks, do you know if the tail gear ratio can be changed, i.e. are there parts available which change the tail ratio?

Also, do people try running larger 85mm blades, or some tail blades with wider chord?

I made a thread recently about that, look for the one about longer tail blades for better holding. People contributed a lot of good info, including options for tail blades with better holding.

There are not "official" parts for speeding up the tail. But it was figured out that a 14T gear from another Gaui can be installed, to speed up the tail. Again, good info in the other thread.
