Ok, sounds good, let us know how that goes. Ya, I got those gears too, but 14T is way too much.

In the mean time I found this.

Understand. With the 2700 Ammo, MAH blades, and 20C 2100 battery I'm turning exactly 3000 RPM with the 14T-- the holy grail as far as I'm concerned. If you're using (for example) a 3550 Align 430BL then you could get up to 3900 all else being equal. More like a 10 or thereabouts would seem right.

I like the idea of steel pinions but I've never used one. The brass ones seem to get ratty pretty quickly (75 flights or so) and start eating the drive gear so finding a good steel would make my day. If you try this one out, please let us know how it goes.
