Fly To Chill, I assume it's a press on, that there isn't a set screw near the base? If so, there are a lot of ways to get them off. I just cut to the chase and got a GWS pinion puller (example: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHHN3&P=ML) since it pops them off without a lot of fuss. Putting them back on, I used a bench vise- put the motor in the jaws, the pinion aganst the end of the shaft, then line everything up exactly while you slowly turn the vise down against it. Then it's a matter of just turning the vise in until the pinion is in the right position. Others have used C-clamps, and so on.

Better IMO is to get a decent pinion with a grub screw so you don't have to deal with the press on stuff any more. A little grean loctite on the shaft can lock it in place in addition to the screw, but I never bothered. I used these steel pinions, but they take a while to get to the US: http://www.heli-fever.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=14&products_id=691. There are also Align and Revco options, but they're a little more difficult to fit.

Status: offline 		Try the Rhino gear available in the US at several places (no waiting for chinese post), get the 2.3mm I/D for that esky 3900 and either definitely flat spot your output shaft or run locktite, I would not trust just running it dry on a smooth shaft myself but take the chances you are comfortable with. You may have to run it upside down for fit but it is one tough gear. I definitely agree that going with a set screw instead of press on is the way to go though.

On the HH gyro deal, I would also keep in mind that you will need to go to a digital servo at the tail if you want to run a HH. The stock tail servo will most likely burn up running that 401 since its pulse rate is so much faster and the servo will not be able to keep up.

I know that the 2100t gyro allows you to set the servo type,(digital-analog).Does the 401 have the same option? Also,Does a digital servo use more energy(battery power) then it's analog counterpart? I haven't found that much to read about that specific difference,and what I have found wasn't definitive in answer.The reason I ask is,I am only into scale,so lightning fast response isn't really a requisit.

Ok guys look this is my problem I have a hbk2 ,had it for 5 months no matter what i do i cant get the main gear and pinion to mesh rite is there any way that my pinion gear could be no good any more it looks a little funny,and if that is the case how do i remove the pinion off my motor and how do i but on a new one? thanks


Easiest solution for me was to put a B400 main gear and the stock 10 or 11T pinion from Eflight. Not one chewed gear since having this combo. I tried the Align pinions first just because my LHS had the 3 pack(9-10-11T). They ate my gears for lunch!

Peace,

Z

Status: offline 		You can switch the ds mode off and you have to unless you are running a digital servo and it will still be an improvement over the stock gyro even running an anolog servo but it would seem a waste to spend the money and not reap the full benefits.
