Full Pitch Metal Jackets

[VOLT]

G-Day Folks
FULL PITCH METAL JACKETS
here we go with some blanks ready for lightning holes and engraving for my 800 heli design...should be able to smack the snot out the heli now without smashing the gears...so now we wil be testing the lifespan of the gears with our secret lubrication formula ...Im not fussed about gear noise...in fact I love it being a bona fida GEARHEAD myself..so welcome the gear noise!
we have a Pilot in the Usa and One in Australia who will be field testing as soon as they get them...looking forward to the results...not cheap by any means but the heli,s are not about how cheap its about how well they fly...my first Megavolt did 257kms and still didnt trash the gears but hey did show signs of extreme wear after 10 flights on the plastic gears pulling spikes of 248amps ..here are the pics of the new stock...
Ava is our Pilot in training...she has to learn from the very bottom of the age group! hehehe

11 tooth brass Pinions
118 Ali Main Gears

WILL POST pics of completed gears soon!

Now they look like some well machined gears!!

I dare someone to try and strip one of those bad boys lol

Looking forward to getting my hands on these gears, I've been nursing the 800 for far too long.

Can you make some of these for the Fusion 50?

[moyesboy]

nice machining job.

looks like a fair bit of weight could come out of the rim under the teeth (this metal gear could be smaller section than the plastic there), and by putting a hole pattern in the plain disc - more machining time though...
I'm guessing a helical cut is another magnitude of complexity!

blanks ready for lightning holes and engraving

oops, all to come I guess - sorry.

If I was making Fusion 50,s sure I would....once we finnishing testing I will look at "Other" models

yes it is..and once my 5 axis machine is complete (its 4 axis already)that will be the first Practice job off the table...I took it aprt to put into a container to move to th euk..and havent had the chance to assemble it again..so next rainy months it will be done!...
will cut the holes tonight and check the weights... Metal Gears are 144g .. Plastic ones are 54g but for my MegaVolt 800 and wereWolf 800,s that weight is insignificant but will go into the shed now and remove as much as I can...cee ya soon!

I'll make the first step: they have 129 teeth

[Johnny Bravo]

You speak to Larry about these gears?

[VOLT]

G-Day..
Na Johhny spoke to some other geezers there great service and turn around time..let them know i needed it for the Funfly comming up and they got it done so really chuffed...one word...NOT CHEAP! min order to qualify for a 33& discount and STILL NOT CHEAP!
here we go with the sound dampning and some weight saving down to 114g from 144 so not a lot but enough for my likeing anyways....If you want gears cut these guys will do it...

These look amazing! Bringing anything along to RCHA?

[trippergreenfeet]

Top work as usual mate....come on the Postie. If the timing works out, I'll have it tried and tested next week with video. I'm doing a demo for an old mate and his son who's passing through town, they are keen to see what a RC heli can do live, I can now give em a real taste of what the 800 is capable of.
