Helical gears.

Post by Romba » Sat Sep 22, 2012 7:21 pm

Helical gears. Would they be better than stock CA gears for an M150? And do helicals need a special piston?

Yes, and not necessarily. Some extremely high torque helical gear sets require a half tooth piston, but most do not. If you are not sure, send me a link and I will tell you.

Unless you've already got a set on hand, I'd get a different set of gears. Today's motors can easily pull back an M150 on stock or lower ratio gears. Dom covered the rest of your question.

Thanks guys.
Dom, would these need a special piston?

^You would need a half tooth piston for that BTW, but you really don't need that much torque. I would go with SHS though if you want to save some money.

Hm. Too many different gear sets. Where can one buy a suppressor that actually suppresses? Ie a foam suppressor or something that doesn't cost $80?
