Ok guy's see if this makes sense.
So I stumbled upon a potential DD tail set up at my LHS. GWS part number H001-FD5002-030B. Tail rotor with mounting shaft to mount it directly to the motor.
One, will this work? I dont see why other than the new rotor being smaller than the stock. But without the gear redution of the other gear I would think the stock TM would have to spin less to achieve the same results.
Two, how hard is it to get the pinion off the motors?
And three, if the the new rotor needs to spin in the opposite direction to make up for the loss of the other gear, I know I have options. A) I can flip the mount around so that the new rotor is on the other side or B) I can flip the plug at the 4-in-1. If I flip the plug at the 4-in-1 will I need to switch the jumper wire on the stock motort? Move the wire that goes from the neg terminal to the can, to go from the pos terminal to the can?
And after all this I imagine I'll have to reset the proportional since the speed generated from the motor is transferred directly to the rotor instead of going through the gear reduction.
First question- try it and see. I have a prop adapter that I bought when I went DD. I never used it for two reasons. First it was too heavy and at the time my 2s lipos were already too far forward to correct CG. Second, the push on prop worked so well i didn't care.
Second part of question one- will it work with the stock motor? Who knows. Again it will only take a few minutes to find out.
Question two--your lhs should have a pinion puller. About $14.
Three--the purpose of inverting the plug is to reverse polarity. So basicly you're already switching the wires at the motor. And yes you will have to reset proportion.
