[QUOTE="stokke, post: 26036, member: 639"] Setting mesh. As the motor pinion gear can be slid so far out that it's not in contact with the main gear, I opted to do the mesh for tail gear first (as the tail gears cannot be slid out of transmission). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010233.JPG[/IMG] As you can see, even with the tail gear slid as far back as possible the gears are still in transmission with the main. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010236.JPG[/IMG] I used the paper trick to set the mesh. I was not satisfied with the result given by using one layer of standard weight A4 printer paper, so I ended up using 3 layers before I was comfortable with the result. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010237.JPG[/IMG] With three layers, there's some slight play - but I deem it perfect. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010240.JPG[/IMG] Ended up using two layers on the pinion gear. Got maybe a tad less play than on the tail gears, but I'm very comfortable with the result. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010241.JPG[/IMG] It took some attempts :D [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010242.JPG[/IMG] Pinion mesh close up.

[IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010249.JPG[/IMG] It was especially satisfying installing the motor, really gets me excited! [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/05.10.12/P1010250.JPG[/IMG] The frame gained some considerable weight with the motor mounted, even though the Turnigy SK3 is actually a rather light motor compared to it's rivals in the same range.
