e-Hirobo SRB Quark - Lepton - XRB Coaxial > HDX parts in Lepton? 13t tail pully

I was thinking of trying a 13 tooth HDX 500 tail gear in my Lepton instead of the Leptons 14 tooth and maybe trying one of the main shafts. Does anyone know if they fit without any drama, thanks.

I hear the pulley might be a bit wide for the tail case. I'm not sure though.

It takes me about 15 minutes to machine the HDX pulley down to fit the Lepton, then you have to re cut the slot for the pin and reassemble. IMHO, it's not worth it. I did 5 of them a few weeks ago and really don't want to see any more. In short, it's a PIA to do.

TMoore, I understand it's a PAI but are the results worth all the trouble?

I bought an HDX500 tail drive belt and compared the teeth on the belt.... X500 belt teeth distance is wider, with that I think the teeth on the X500 tail pulley will also have wider pitch...... Yet, I did the mod before that findings also...... If your running HS below 6000rpm, tail is pretty solid, at the expense of higher current draw...... Higher HS than that, tail is too sensitive with 65mm tail blade and might require shorter tail blade..... I will try to get the X500 CF Tboom, front tail drive pulley, and stock X500 14T tail pulley....... Their belt is longer, so I assume the tailboom is probably 20mm longer, that I assume will give a little added tail authority on the Lepton.......
