Oh, and yes, the hawk pro is a noisy beeotch. Theres like 3 gears in the main drive assembly, plus the tail is gear (not belt) drive. All that gear lashing makes a good deal of noise. I kind of like it though, makes it sound mean..
You mention the electric conversion doesn't spool up like the nitro powered version and they don't sell a big enough gear to speed it up. Did you know the spur gear on the jack shaft comes intwo sizes? The Falcon uses a bigger gear and would speed up your head speed. Or do you need to slow it down?
I reread your post.... yes the Falcon gear would increase your head speed. The gear is bigger to make up for the peak torque being at a lower rpm for a .46 engine as compared to a .32.
