Default New OS 37 heli

Just wondering if I drop in the new OS 37 heli motor into a Century Shuttle with Bell 222 fuselage, will it require different gearing, blades, etc than the OS 32 it replaced? Or would it still use the 550 mm blades and ~1700 rpms?

Thanks

The higher-powered engine will give you higher RPM at full throttle if you change nothing in the heli. You can get away with changing the pitch of your main blades versus the throttle.

Okay, so it's not really a drop in replacement engine for a 30 size machine, unless you want to run a really high head speed. Basically, I should look to change the pinion gear before using this engine?
