I am to the main gear/ pinion point in my build on my trex 550e v2. I read the manual, but have also done research on proper main gear mesh.  From what I have been able to gather is, you set the main gear mesh using the high side of the gear.  How do I find the highpoint on the main gear?  Is placing a thin strip of paper between the pinion and gear a good way to set the proper mesh?

Thanks for the tips!

Set the gap pretty tight and rotate the main gear till its the tightest, mark that spot.

Run a piece of notebook paper through the gears at that point. It should come out not wavy, not mangled, but nicely accordianed with crisp edges.
