Default RE: My Helis

I hate to zero in on one heli, but I have a question on the King 2(which some of you seem to have). I bought this with a brushless motor that has an 11 tooth brass pinion on it. The heli is wicked fast and a little hard for me to control right now - super sensitive to stick input. I'd like to see if I can slow it down a little. I'd like to use a 10 tooth or maybe even a 9 tooth. This brass pinion has also loosened up in the short time I've had it, so, I think I'd favor a steel pinion over a brass thinking the steel might hold the set screw a little better(the set screw seemed to be tight, but the pinion was spinning free). Can any of you guys tell me where to get these pinions? I've looked at places I've had recommended but can't find what I need. The motor has a 3.17mm shaft. The main gear is a .5 mod (pitch?). BTW, it came with a set of exploding Extreme blades[:'(], but I'm back to stock wooden ones. Thanks.
