I'm running 18T pinion on mine, 2826/8..... I'm crossing my fingers, but, I haven't had my main gear getting stripped lately..... Yesterday, I switched back to 425mm MAH..... One flight no stripped main gear....... I don't know if it's gonna last, and I may need to lower the collective pitch to +/-10* from eleven...... For main gear's safety, besides the 425mm gave me more collective punch than I need with +/-11* pitch range..... Tail still pretty solid with AXi motor and tail mod combinations...... I'll keep you guys posted.....
Oh yeah, backlash gapping on main gear and pinion, don't use the paper in between method. It leaves much more gap then needed...... What I do is I gap it visually....... I leave just a little bit of gap where I could barely see a movement when I move the main gear back and forth...... After one flight, I check again, and it loosens a bit...... I simply leave it that way.......
