e-E-Sky Honey Bee- Lama- Belt CP- E-Smart > Cheap pinion for HDX motor

When I placed my most recent order to JAG, on a whim I decided to get one of the $1 Esky press-on 10T pinions. when it arrived along with my OTHER STUFF, I did a hand test-fit and decided to stick with the Align pinion.

After maybe 10 flights the damn pinion is showing wear. Already. I decided to try the Esky pinion again, this time using a C-clamp to attach it. It took some force, but it went on.

It meshes perfectly, and is MUCH quieter. No crazy grinding sound on spool-up.

So, this is just a long-winded confirmation that the el-cheapo Esky pinions will work with HDX300 motors.

The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.

I noticed the wear on the align pinions also whats that about metric pitch not the same from align? but I got a few hundred flights on mine so Im just gonna replace it and the main gear for the heck of it. I like the little grub screw pinions a lot I turn the pinion upside down so it meshes better and can be replaced in seconds without removing a single motor screw.

My LHS doesn't carry Esky anything but I've been using E-Flight parts including a 10t pinion that uses a grub screw. Works well and quiet as long as the mesh is set right.
