Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Blade BLH-1786 Pinion Gear compatible with my Revolution 235 CP? — Yes, this gear is specifically designed and recommended for the Blade Revolution 235 CP helicopter. It is an authorised replacement part that matches the original specifications exactly.
- When should I replace the pinion gear on my RC helicopter? — You should inspect your pinion gear regularly during maintenance. Replace it if you notice visible wear on the teeth, grinding noises during operation, or if you experience slippage during flight. Many pilots keep a spare on hand as routine preventative maintenance.
- How difficult is it to install this pinion gear? — Installation is straightforward. The gear attaches to the motor shaft using the included set screw. If you're familiar with basic helicopter maintenance, you can complete the installation yourself; otherwise, a local RC hobby shop can install it for a small fee.
- What is a pinion gear and why does it matter? — A pinion gear is a small toothed wheel that meshes with larger gears in the drivetrain. In the Revolution 235 CP, the pinion gear transfers power from the motor to the rotor system. It's a critical component because wear or damage to the teeth directly affects flight performance and reliability.
- Is this an original Blade part or a third-party replacement? — This is a genuine Blade OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part, making it the authorised choice for maintaining your helicopter to factory standards.
- Should I buy a spare even if my current gear is working fine? — Many experienced RC helicopter pilots recommend keeping spare drivetrain components on hand. Gears can fail unexpectedly during flight, and having a replacement ready means you won't miss flying opportunities whilst waiting for a replacement to arrive.
